Mitch McConnell (R-KY) commented on the GOP’s odds of winning the Senate and the House in the upcoming Midterm elections. While left-leaning articles highlight failed expectations for the GOP, right-leaning articles highlight close races.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting on how McConnell cautioned about the Republican’s odds to win the Senate and also “criticized threats and acts of violence toward law enforcement.” McConnell stated that “I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate… Senate races are just different. They're statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
A left-leaning article from The Boston Globe discusses how the GOP should have the advantage over democrats due to low approval ratings for Biden and continued inflation, but, in reality, there are many tight Senate races. The article also noted how a Political Action Committee connected to McConnell invested $28 million to support republican Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance.
A right-leaning article from Fox News discusses how McConnell explained that “we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country, but I think when all is said and done this fall, we’re likely to have an extremely close Senate. Either our side up slightly or their side up slightly.” In addition to a tight race in Ohio, Democrats hold a slight lead in states like Pennsylvania.
