GOP Playing Defense In State Legislative Battles
“The Republican Party, after seizing control of more state legislative chambers than at any time in its history, is largely playing defense in the 2016 election,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Thirteen of the 18 chambers most likely to see the opposition party win control are held by Republicans… Among majorities in play are state Senates in Washington, West Virginia, Colorado and Nevada, which could flip to Democratic control with just one seat change. Republicans are also defending narrow House majorities in Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico, where polls show Mrs. Clinton leading Republican rival Donald Trump.”
