West Virginia: <\/strong>This is the GOP&#x27;s best pickup opportunity, since it&#x27;s the second-most Trump-friendly state on the map. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is the only Democrat who can win in this red state \u2014 but he&#x27;s no guarantee to run for a third term. <\/li>\n<li>Popular Gov. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.), a former Democrat, is strongly considering a run. He&#x27;d be the toughest GOP opponent Manchin faced in his long political career.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Ohio: <\/strong>Ohio, a one-time battleground, is fast becoming Republican turf, with the GOP scoring a clean sweep in last year&#x27;s midterms. But Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) has an enviable brand as a labor-friendly Democrat who has won over blue-collar voters that drifted to Trump. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He has already announced he&#x27;s all-in for a tough campaign. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Republicans expect a crowded primary to challenge him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Montana:<\/strong> The GOP&#x27;s ability to pick up the seat held by Sen. Jon Tester (D) comes down to candidate recruitment \u2014 and whether the popular red-state senator runs for re-election. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Republicans are worried that two prospective challengers have serious political baggage: Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) lost to Tester in 2018, and hails from the hard-right wing of the House GOP caucus. Rep. Ryan Zinke resigned as Interior Secretary amid ethics investigations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Arizona:<\/strong> Democrats fear that a potential three-way race, with Democratic voters split between Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), could hand the seat to Republicans. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most of the rumored GOP candidates hail from the MAGA wing of the party \u2014 including losing 2022 gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/01\/25\/2024-senate-republicans-democrats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illustration: Sarah Grillo, Shoshana Gordon\/Axios After last year&#x27;s midterm fail, Republicans are licking their chops at an enviable outlook for snatching the Senate majority in [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":131587,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
