There are 22 GOP seats up and 12 Dems, I think.

from random tweets i've seen, i'd say it's probably 35% or so, with a large +/-.


i don't think that accounts for manchin though, so the number should really be lower.

I can only assume they're expecting Beto to run against Cornyn in Texas.  If he didn't beat Cruz I don't see anyway he'll beat Cornyn.

0% chance beto will run for the senate in 2020.


the senate race will mirror the presidential race.  it's a long shot, but definitely a non-zero % that dems win both the presidential and senate races in texas.  the senate candidate (it is mj hegar) doesn't matter much, the presidential race will drive turnout.
