Battle brewing for Senate control
Placeholder Image
While the media fixates on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, there’s a battle brewing for Senate control.Good news for the Republicans: they enjoy a comfortable party majority lead in the Senate, for now. Potential bad news: of the 34 seats up for grabs in 2016, 24 are held by Republicans -- many of them in so-called “blue-leaning states.”Meanwhile, Democrats will be vying vigorously for election or re-election in only 10 states, mostly “true blue.” Just the other day, I received a request for a “matching gift” from one of their fundraisers, known as “EMILY’s List.”
