Harry Reid: Dems will hold Senate ‘unless something unexpected happens’

[Geee]

Washington Times:

In the face of a challenging electoral landscape for his party in this year’s midterms, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid predicted this week they’ll hold onto their tenuous majority in the Senate barring some unforeseen incident.

 

“We’ll keep the majority unless something unexpected happens,” senate-majority/14209243/” target=”_blank”>the Nevada Democrat told the Reno Gazette-Journal ahead of a local party confab Sunday.

 

Mr. Reid’s party currently holds a five-seat majority in the upper chamber, but open seats in Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia appear likely to flip to the GOP at this point. That means Republicans essentially need to unseat at least three incumbent Democrats in a handful of winnable races in states like North Carolina, Alaska, Arkansas and Louisiana, while retaining GOP-held seats in competitive races in Kentucky and Georgia, to re-take control of the chamber.
