Republicans
are pouring millions of dollars into a last-ditch attempt to save their
Senate majority, but many indicators say their efforts may be in vain.
The Senate Leadership Fund super PAC is investing $25 million into six
races to bolster the GOP, reports Politico, on rising fears Donald
Trump's declining poll numbers will hurt down-ballot candidates like
Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania and Richard
Burr in North Carolina. But it may be too little too late. The Cook
Political Report on Tuesday said Democrats will likely take the Senate,
anticipating the party will pick up five to seven seats. A
RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Republican incumbents Ron
Johnson in Wisconsin and Mark Kirk in Illinois likely losing their seats
and lists Democrat Michael Bennet in Colorado as safe. Prediction
markets see many closely-polling states leaning Dem, including
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Nevada. John Aristotle Phillips, CEO of
U.S.-based prediction market PredictIt, discussed what that might mean
come Election Day.
