Republicans are making this election cycle unnecessarily difficult for themselves.
to have worked out pretty well for Republicans is in the Missouri Senate race. The only possible way Republicans could have a chance of blowing this race would be if primary voters nominate the disgraced, resigned ex-Gov. Eric Greitens, whose ex-wife came out with gruesome domestic abuse allegations during his Senate primary campaign. Republican primary voters in Missouri definitely
thought about it for a while, but a contingent of anti-Greitens donors and operatives dumped millions of dollars in attack ads against Greitens in the last month,The nomination now appears to be between Rep. Vicky Hartzler and state Attorney General Eric Schmitt, either of whom would likely be elected in the Senate in November. In terms of primaries for the House, three of the ten House Republicans who voted for Trump to be impeached will face primaries.

If—and this is the bigof the night—Newhouse and Herrera Beutler make it into the top two, and aren’t locked out by a Democrats or a Trump-endorsed MAGA challenger, they’d have the advantage in November.
