Cook Political Report moves Iowa, Texas governor's races in Democrats favor
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported28m ago
The Cook Political Report adjusted its election projections on Thursday, moving the Senate and gubernatorial races in Texas and Iowa toward the Democratic party. The nonpartisan handicapper now classifies the Senate contests in both states as toss-ups, citing a shifting political environment in Iowa and a scandal-ridden Republican candidate in Texas.
The shifts arrive as the battle for control of the U.S. Senate remains highly competitive, with Democrats seeking to flip at least four seats to secure a majority. These adjustments reflect broader mid-term trends in states traditionally considered Republican strongholds.
