Some Senate seats in swing states are at risk for Republicans as the election approaches, according to internal polling by the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
NRSC note obtained exclusively by Politicoshows that Senate contests in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan are competitive for the GOP. Republican Party Senate candidates are losing in Maryland, Arizona and Nevada. Montana leans GOP. To gain a majority in the Senate, Republicans need to flip two seats.
The memo shows GOP Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown by two points, with Moreno at 45% and Brown at 43%.
The next races are in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania, Senator Bob Casey has a one-point lead over his Republican rival. Meanwhile, the Republican Party candidate from Wisconsin, Eric Hovde, leads his rival, Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, by the same margin.
NRSC Executive Director Jason Thielman said Hovde came out ahead for the first time in internal polling.
