Roy Moore raises the stakes in Alabama: The most important races in the 2020 Senate fight
faces a grind to win another term in the White House. Even if he stays another four years, Democrats appear favored to keep the House — and the oversight and policy headaches it can cause Trump.
Democratic Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones and wife Louise acknowledge supporters at the election night party in Birmingham, Alabama, December 12, 2017.Just about any path Democrats can take toward Senate control would rely on Jones holding his seat. Challengers have lined up to try to take the senator down in deep red Alabama in one of the GOP's best chances to flip a seat.
The senator took office this year after her appointment to finish the late Sen. John McCain's term. McSally will likely face Mark Kelly, the former astronaut backed by national Democrats, in next year's election. Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords — a Democrat who was left with brain damage following a 2011 shooting at a public event — has run on issues including health care and gun control. Republicans have tried to tie him to liberal policy plans such as "Medicare for All" and the Green New Deal, which could deter some voters in the swing state. .
Before he made his presidential run official, Hickenlooper told Politico in February that "I'm not cut out to be a senator." A sustained trade war with China could also affect the Georgia race. Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods have affected industries such as soybeans, peanuts and cotton.Sen. Susan Collins speaks to reporters as she arrives for a nomination vote on Capitol Hill in Washington, December 13, 2017.Despite Maine's swing state status, unseating Collins may prove tough for Democrats.
Democrats fared well in Maine last year. They flipped the governor's mansion and a key U.S. House seat. Republicans hope Peters' relative anonymity will help make next year's race closer. In April, 43% of Michigan voters said they had never heard of Peters, according to Morning Consult polling. That makes him less well known than any other senator, the surveys found.
Still, Shaheen has shown herself as a formidable candidate. In 2014, she beat former Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown by about 3 percentage points during a strong year for the GOP. She has strong name recognition and one of the highest approval ratings among senators up for reelection next year,The senator's fate will depend on whom Republicans can get to run against her. GOP Gov. Chris Sununu, seen as a potentially tough opponent for Shaheen, declined to run in May.
While Trump won North Carolina in 2016 and the state has two Republican senators, recent statewide races there have been competitive. The president carried the state by nearly 4 percentage points in 2016, while GOP Sen. Richard Burr won by nearly 6 percentage points.This year, Tillis has cast some pivotal votes in favor of the president's priorities.
