And whichever party wins tonight will have just won a battle and not the war in these politically volatile times. Trump and GOP strategists made it all about that base; just see Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh at last night’s rally with Trump in Missouri. Maybe the best example of this base-versus-middle divide is the 50-50 Senate race in Arizona between Democrat Kyrsten Sinema (whose message was aimed at the middle) and Republican Martha McSally (who was playing more to the Trump base in this traditional GOP state). Race by race, here’s the Democrats’ path to winning back the House As for the battle for the House, we’re re-upping our road map how Democrats get to the net 23 seats they need to win control of Congress: The Democratic Defense (6) First thing’s first: Democrats aren’t playing defense very many places, and they can probably afford to (and expect to) lose a few seats. (Note: Due to redistricting, this is expected to flip) MN-1 (9pm): OPEN — previously held by Tim Walz (D). (Note: due to redistricting, this is extremely likely to flip) PA-6 (8pm): OPEN — previously held by Ryan Costello (R). (Note: due to redistricting, this is extremely likely to flip) PA-7 (8pm): OPEN —previously held by Charlie Dent (R). 49-44 for Clinton CO-6 (9pm): Incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman (R) v. Jason Crow (D). NJ-3 (8pm): Incumbent Tom MacArthur (R) v. Andy Kim (D). Currently, Republicans hold 33 governorships, Democrats hold 16 and there’s one independent (Bill Walker in Alaska, who dropped out of his race).
