I had a briefing today from new DSCC leadership... [View all]

21 Democratic seats to protect

Top tier races are Tester (MT), Brown (OH) and Manchin (WV)

Second tier are Baldwin (WI), Rosen (NV), Casey (PA) and Sinema (AZ)

MD at risk if Cardin retires and Hogan runs

Looking at Cruz (TX), Scott (FL) and Hawley (MO) as potential targets

Plus we need to protect the Office of the Presidency. riversedge Jan 2023 #1

Why is Sinema on the list, she's no longer a Democrat? MagickMuffin Jan 2023 #2

I think maybe it's the seat, not the person (?). I could be wrong though. Sky Jewels Jan 2023 #4

For the same reason Sanders and King are on the list brooklynite Jan 2023 #5

Really hard for me to get excited about Manchin and Sinema, but I get we have to support them. quaint Jan 2023 #3

Screw Sinema. With friends like her, who needs republicans Ray Bruns Jan 2023 #10

IF Sinema wins the D Primary she has to be supported... brooklynite Jan 2023 #11

I agree. Need a strong candidate to run against her in the primary if there is a chance. LiberalFighter Jan 2023 #15

Are there no Democrats that can run against her? Autumn Jan 2023 #16

Yes, there will be. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #18

Yet DSCC leadership according to the OP is supporting her. Autumn Jan 2023 #20

I don't think that's correct. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #21

According to the OP she's a second tier seat to protect. Autumn Jan 2023 #28

Maybe that's assuming she wins the primary? Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #29

I would, too, if I lived in her state. calimary Jan 2023 #42

Agreed. But I think a serious challanger would beat her in a primary n/t Tom Rinaldo Jan 2023 #23

Has Sinema decided to run in the Democratic Primary? Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #38

The GOP will come hard at Sen. Brown, real hard irisblue Jan 2023 #12

I would say in order of weakness it would be Hawley, Cruz, Scott. LiberalFighter Jan 2023 #13

Any talk about MI? yardwork Jan 2023 #27

Hogan is well respected in MD by both sides. Keep Cardin in for as long as possible. Samrob Jan 2023 #30

I don't think Manchin will switch to the GOP. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #32

Agree but Hogan just said he is considering Presidential run. (Local tv) Maggiemayhem Jan 2023 #33

Well, that takes him out of the Senatorial race, maybe? nt Samrob Jan 2023 #34

What the hell happened in NY with Santos? PufPuf23 Jan 2023 #35

Santos is a House Member. DSCC deals with Senate candidates. brooklynite Jan 2023 #54

I noted that Santos House and your discussions were about the Senate PufPuf23 Jan 2023 #57

Why are we protecting Sinema, who is not a democrat in name or deed? AllyCat Jan 2023 #52

Remind us who Sinema voted for for Majority Leader last week. brooklynite Jan 2023 #53

And yet she craps on everything for the rest of us. AllyCat Jan 2023 #56
