Eight weeks out: Dems see narrow path to Senate majority

The Hill

Eight weeks out from the midterm elections, both Republicans and Democrats find themselves with a path to a Senate majority.

For Democrats, it is a surprising development given this year’s difficult political map: The party is defending nearly two-dozen seats, including 10 seats in states won by President Trump in 2016.

Yet if the party can sweep every race considered a toss-up, it would end up with a 52-48 majority in the next Congress — even while losing Texas, where Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) is giving GOP Sen. Ted Cruz a stronger-than-expected challenge.

Stand up for Democratic principles over the next eight weeks (like women's health care and a humane immigration policy, to name just two) and see if a majority of voters don't go for Democrats. Again.
