GOP: Anything short of 52-seat Senate majority would be a 'failure' [View all]
Republicans believe that they are in prime shape to win at least 52 seats in the Senate with only days to go until Election Day.
The GOP has long been favored to win back the upper chamber, but the size of its majority has been in question as the party’s candidates trailed against Democratic incumbents in a number of key swing states. Several of those races have narrowed, however, buoying Republicans’ hopes in the process.
Nearly a dozen GOP senators, Senate aides and operatives with experience on Senate races predicted to The Hill that the party will hit the 52-seat mark. Most said the party brass will be left shaking their heads if they fall short of that goal.
“At this point, we have to have 52,” one GOP operative involved in Senate races said, arguing that it is necessary especially after Republicans outspent Democrats in Ohio — considered their best pickup opportunity after West Virginia and Montana — by more than $20 million this cycle.
