The general election is just a few weeks away and most folks are focused on the presidential race, which is of critical importance for the future of our nation, but we do our nation a great disservice if we don’t start paying more attention to congressional races and those for Senate seats. After all, if we as conservatives don’t gain control over the chambers of Congress, what good is it for former President Donald Trump to have the White House? He will be unable to enact his policies without the support of the House and Senate.
With Congress under Republican control, plus the Supreme Court leaning right, we can actually get a lot of work done to restore America to its former glory. With that being said, let’s take a look at a critical Senate race from Ohio. Current incumbent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown has now dipped below GOP candidate Bernie Moreno, 47 percent to 46 percent.

This is really close and subject to change significantly before the actual day of the election. We could see Moreno skyrocket ahead of Brown, who has been in the Senate far too long and done way too much damage to the conservative cause. Or we could see Brown make a comeback and by some ugly twist of fate retain his seat. That’s a worst case scenario.
So what do folks on social media have to say about the new results?
One user said, “This is huge. Keep pushing. We will win the Senate!” Another stated, “It’s happening. I’ve been saying for months Bernie Moreno will win this election. There will not be that many ticket splitters.”
Another went on to say, “Was nice playing with you, Mr. Brown. Farewell.”
A recent report from Newsweek discussed the GOP’s chances of taking key Senate races in order to gain control over the upper chamber of Congress, noting many of them are super close with only several weeks to go before election day.
Election forecaster 270toWin, whose interactive map is based on political analyst Larry Sabato’s election predictions, currently has the GOP with the majority at 51 seats to the Democrats‘ 48, which includes two independents, after the November 5 election. Another election forecast from RacetotheWH by political analyst Logan Phillips has an interactive map with a 51-48 Republican majority win. Both 270toWin and RacetotheWH’s election maps include strong red and blue states and states that lean Republican and Democrat. So how are the candidates doing in the tight races?
In Montana, U.S. Senator Jon Tester, a Democrat, is defending his seat against Republican Tim Sheehy. 270toWin’s interactive map has Montana currently leaning Republican. RacetotheWH has Montana with a Republican tilt with Sheehy having a 68.5 percent chance of winning compared to Tester’s 31 percent chance. In Arizona’s Senate race between U.S. Representative Ruben Gallego, a Democrat, and Republican Kari Lake, 270toWin predicts that the state will lean Democratic and RacetotheWH thinks it will likely be Democratic, giving Gallego a 92 percent chance of winning and Lake a 7.6 percent chance.
Looks like folks in Arizona have some serious work to get done. We have time. Anything can happen in the span of weeks. Conservatives need to start blanketing whole communities, getting on the phone, going door-to-door, real boots on the ground kind of campaigning. We need to take every seat possible.
Godspeed to all who are out there doing the heavy lifting to take back our country.
