Voter enthusiasm for the 2020 presidential election is already sky high. With all the coverage of Beto O’Rourke’s counter climbing and Pete Buttigieg’s speaking approximately 200 languages, you might forget that 34 Senate seats are also up for election. You can bet those races will soon be hotter than a firecracker, given the Senate’s power to confirm Cabinet members and federal judges — such as the justices who sit on the Supreme Court.
Republicans have a better shot than not of maintaining control of the Senate in 2020. However, recent trends indicate that the possibility of a clean sweep for either side (i.e. taking the presidency and the Senate) is higher than it’s ever been. CONT.
