For the Senate, as per the Cook Report, this week there's a number of shifts, all in the Democrats' direction. Giving each party 2/3 of their leaners, 1/2 of the toss-ups, and 1/3 of the opposite party's leaners, this would give the Democrats 51.8 (+0.8 ) and the Republicans 48.2:
- No election Democrat (35)
- Safe Democrat (10): Delaware (D), Illinois (D), Massachusetts (D), Minnesota (D), New Hampshire (D), New Jersey (D), New Mexico (D), Oregon (D), Rhode Island (D), Virginia (D)
- Leans Democrat (3): Arizona (R), Colorado (R), Michigan (D)
- Toss-Ups (7, +1): Georgia (R), Georgia (R), Iowa (R), Maine (R), Montana (R), North Carolina (R), South Carolina (R)
- Leans Republican (4, +1): Alaska (R), Alabama (D), Kansas (R), Texas (R)
- Likely Republican (1, -2): Kentucky (R)
- Safe Republican (10): Arkansas (R), Idaho (R), Louisiana (R), Mississippi (R), Nebraska (R), Oklahoma (R), South Dakota (R), Tennessee (R), West Virginia (R), Wyoming (R)
- No election Republican (30)
And for the House, again per the Cook Report, there are no changes this week. Giving each party 2/3 of their leaners, 1/2 of the toss-ups, and 1/3 of the opposite party's leaners, that gives us Democrats 237.5, Republicans 197.5. So again absent a wave that's essentially a wash from 2018's 235 D / 199 R:
- Safe Democrat: 190
- Likely Democrat: 18
- Leans Democrat: 18
- Toss-Ups: 25
- Leans Republican: 15
- Likely Republican: 16
- Safe Republican: 153
There are eleven governors up for election, and once again no change from last week. This would give us a slight shift to Democrats 23.5, Republicans 26.5—
maybe the Republicans will net a +1:
- No election Democrat (20)
- Safe Democrat (2): Delaware (D), Washington (D)
- Leans Democrat (1): North Carolina (D)
- Toss-Up (1): Montana (D)
- Leans Republican (1): Missouri (R)
- Likely Republican (1): New Hampshire (R)
- Safe Republican (5): Indiana (R), North Dakota (R), Utah (R), Vermont (R), West Virginia (R)
- No election Republican (19)
Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
