"Well, it could be close. I mean, first of all, remember, we have Maine is critical to us. The reelection of Susan Collins, she ran-, she won by nine points while Trump was losing the state by nine. That's-, think about that, one out of-, nearly one out every five Maine voters six years ago voted for the Democrat for president and the Republican for the U.S. Senate. That's really unusual, that's going to be a tough race."
"Thom Tillis is retiring. The Republicans have got a nice guy named Michael Whatley running. The Democrats have got the former two-term Democratic governor, and before that he was the state attorney general. Not going to be an easy race. We've got to try and knock off Georgia. We got an opportunity in Michigan. The Democrats have now got the only person who might have a shot at Alaska."
The Senate majority could be close. Maine is critical; Susan Collins previously won by nine points while Trump lost the state by nine, creating rare ticket-splitting where nearly one in five Maine voters chose a Democratic presidential candidate and a Republican senator. North Carolina looks competitive with Thom Tillis retiring and a Republican nominee facing a former two-term Democratic governor and ex-state attorney general. Georgia requires targeted effort. Michigan presents an opportunity. Alaska may now be contestable for Democrats. Texas hinges on the Republican nominee; a problematic nominee could imperil the party. Republican candidates must contribute economic messaging beyond the White House.
