2022 Senate Overview: Advantage Republicans

By Leave a Comment

Just for members: The latest edition of Inside Elections.

This issue is a 2022 Senate Overview featuring updated analysis and polling in all 35 races, as well as an overall projection for the chamber. Republicans are most likely to gain 1 to 3 seats, which even the lowest end of the range would be enough for a majority.
