"There are 35 seats up in 2022 - including a special election in Oklahoma - of which 21 are held by the GOP. That party can retake control with a net gain of one or more seats."

At least 24 of this year's 35 U.S. Senate seats up for election are seen as safe for the incumbent party. Of the remaining 11 only 4 are regarded as real toss-ups. Therefore, it is likely that whichever side wins the Senate, it will win it by a very narrow margin.
A very Key race:
Georgia
"Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker, will meet Friday night for their only debate in Georgia's marquee Senate contest, just days before in-person early voting begins. The 60-minute session, which will take place before a live audience, comes in the wake of reports that Walker paid for a girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009 before later fathering a child with her. Additionally, the matchup could force both men to answer other attacks — personal and political — that have flooded voters’ television screens and social media feeds for months. “Raphael Warnock will have to answer why he has voted 96% of the time with (President) Joe Biden, giving us record-high inflation, all while doubling his own income,” Walker aide Will Kiley said, previewing now-familiar assertions from Republicans."

For democrats the Georgia Senate seat is a firewall that they believe they must hold. That would explain the treacherous stunt they pulled against Herschel Walker. It worked for them in the past, some may recall. This time may be different. Warnock is far too radical for the state of Georgia, or just about anywhere else for that matter and this time Republicans will be voting.
Arizona
Next in order of importance is Arizona, where the incumbent Mark Kelly is one of the most vulnerable of the democrats. The GOP has a formidable candidate in Blake Edwards.

"Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly and Republican challenger Blake Masters took to the debate stage in Phoenix Thursday evening, where the two clashed over President Joe Biden’s handling of the U.S. economy, border security, and reproductive rights."

Nevada
Nevada is extremely close with Adam Laxalt leading Cortez Masto by only 2 percentage points at 48%-46%. The killer for Masto may be the fact that the economy is the top issue for most Nevadan voters polling in at 44%.
Pennsylvania
Then there is the classic battle between Fetterman and Oz in PA. Fetterman is another radical, as far out as Warnock. Fetterman somehow is the Lt Governor of the state. Fetterman led by a few percentage points but Oz is gaining. The key economic issues favor Oz and when you factor in crime, which is rampant in Philadelphia, Oz should prevail. Some claim the Black vote may make the difference. The question is will the people of Philadelphia just keep voting democrat no matter what or will they finally vote in their best interests?
New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, democrats did everything they could to get Don Bolduc to win the GOP primary. He seemed like the least likely to win the general election. Democrats seem to be masters of manipulating primaries in which voting is extremely low. In this case they got their wish and Senator Maggie Hassan holds a 6% point lead over Bolduc. As soon as Bolduc won the GOP primary democrats had their negative ads ready. They have continually run an ad showing Bolduc telling Hassan to get over it on the subject of abortion. Thus far the dems have got the matchup they wanted and the narrative as well.
Wisconsin
In Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has found a lane with crime giving him a lift. He is opposed by Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes. If Wisconsin polling can be believed, Johnson and Barnes are in a dead even tie at 47%-47%. The anchor around Barnes neck is that he was in favor of reducing police budgets.
North Carolina
In North Carolina, Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., and former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley are also in a virtual tie despite the fact that Beasley has outspent Budd by 2-1.
The challenges the nation faces because of the election of Joe Biden are enormous. We always think that the current election is the most important one we ever voted in. It's because of the times we are living in. If you care about your children's future, you need to vote against the woke candidates who enacted a very radical agenda.
