We’re 200 days from Election Day, and the NRSC has been very clear from the start of this cycle about two things:
Eight battleground states—Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, and New Hampshire—will determine control of the Senate. If we don’t take any of these races for granted, we will remain favored to hold our Majority.
Democrats spent this week trying to distract from their brutal proxy war primaries with fairy tales of their path to a victory, but the math just doesn’t add up. And you don’t have to take our word for it, as reported this week:
- “I mean the Senate, I’m still struggling to believe that the Dems can actually pull that one off.” – Politico
- “According to CNN data analyst Harry Enten, Democrats are unlikely to regain control of the Senate . . . ” – CNN
- “With few opportunities for pickups and a handful of open seats to defend, the 2026 cycle has posed an uphill battle for Democrats.” – CBS News
- “ . . . [Democrats] retaking control of the Upper Chamber will still be an uphill battle.” – NPR
- “The GOP remain the narrowing favorites to retain the upper chamber.” – Cook Political Report
Bottom line: Chuck Schumer is denying reality and losing in the proxy war primaries across battleground states like Iowa, Maine, and Michigan that will result in the most radical Democrat candidates these states have ever seen. 200 days to go, and we’re ready for the fight.
