“NRSC chair Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) delivered a sobering message to his GOP colleagues Tuesday at a closed-door, off-campus briefing on how Democrats’ six-point lead on the generic ballot could translate into individual midterm Senate races,” Axios reports.
“The slides showed the GOP’s toughest challenge, based on the generic ballot, is in Maine, where Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is running for a sixth term.”
“Republicans have long suspected that the national environment for their party could be challenging in November. But on Tuesday, they were formally put on notice — and forced to confront what a GOP drag could mean for their majority.”
Chris Cillizza: Susan Collins may well be toast.
