There are just eight Republican women in the U.S. Senate, but they are critical in the GOP effort to maintain the majority.
Of those eight female Republican senators, six will be on the ballot this November and four of them are in competitive races. Martha McSally of Arizona and Susan…
Alabama. Doug Jones (D), elected 2017 special (50%). March 3 primary. March 31 runoff. In November, former Sen. Jeff Sessions entered the race for his old seat and is the GOP frontrunner. He served as Trump’s attorney general for a tumultuous nine months, but Sessions is all-but-guaranteed to make the…
Kentucky. Mitch McConnell (R), elected 1984 (50%), 1990 (52%), 1996 (55%), 2002 (65%), 2008 (53%) and 2014 (56%). Jan. 28 filing deadline. May 19 primary. Just looking at the fundraising, you’d think control of the Senate hinged on the outcome in Kentucky. But that’s not the case. Because of his…

After weeks of public hearings and the eve of a vote, I’m ready to take a stand on impeachment. Well, not quite. Actually, there are more than a few pieces of the impeachment coverage, arguments, and narrative that are driving me crazy. And writing a few hundred words seems like…
Democrats have won just one statewide race in Kansas over the last decade, but Kris Kobach’s potential nomination in 2020 is fueling Democratic hopes and could significantly improve the party’s prospects of regaining control of the Senate.
Even though Donald Trump won Kansas easily in 2016, and Democrats haven’t won…
Democratic presidential hopefuls, who have been eating and dancing their way across Iowa in order to win the first-in-the-nation stamp of approval, will leave the fried Twinkies and corn dogs behind after the February caucuses. But the state will be far from void of political activity.
