SOUTH CAROLINA (R) AND NEVADA (D) PRIMARIES, 2024

CNN America's Choice theme : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvpd4myQXs



Anderson Cooper : Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m Anderson Cooper from CNN’s Election Center. I welcome you to the coverage of the 2024 South Carolina Republican primary, the first primary in the South, and the Nevada Democratic caucuses. Even though Vice-President Haley is likely to win her home state of South Carolina where she was Governor before becoming VP, it will still be interesting to see by how much she wins. Nevada will either slow down or accelerate Kamala Harris’ path in the Democratic primaries.

John King : Right now we can see that Nikki Haley has a huge lead over Chris Sununu in South Carolina as she wins in the state’s southern counties, including Charleston and North Charleston.

South Carolina Republican primary (25 % reported) - 50 delegates

Nikki Haley : 49 %
Chris Sununu : 17 %
Tom Cotton : 15 %
Ben Sasse : 10 %
Charlie Baker : 7 %

Cooper : It is now 8 : 30 pm and we can project that Vice-President Haley wins the South Carolina primary and all the 50 delegates. Big win for Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina, a win that is crucial for her because since 1980 the winner of the South Carolina Republican primary, at the exception of Newt Gingrich in 2012, has went on to win the nomination.

Cooper : It is 9 : 30 pm and we can now see that Kamala Harris has a comfortable lead in Nevada as she wins the western counties in proximity with her home state of California, including the Washoe County, home to Reno, and Carson City.

Nevada Democratic caucuses (1 % reported) - 44 delegates

Kamala Harris : 33 %
Chris Kennedy : 25 %
Bob Casey Jr. : 19 %
John Bel Edwards : 14 %
Terry McAuliffe : 6 %

Cooper : Is now 9 : 45 pm, Senator Harris’ lead in Nevada has increased as she wins the Clark County, home to Las Vegas, as well as the Lincoln, Nye and Esmeralda counties. Chris Kennedy wins the Eureka and Lander counties.

Nevada Democratic caucuses (25 % reported) - 44 delegates

Kamala Harris : 37 %
Chris Kennedy : 27 %
Bob Casey Jr. : 17 %

Cooper : It is now 10 pm and Senator Harris sweeps all of Nevada’s western counties, Governor Kennedy wins the Elko and White Pine counties.

Nevada Democratic caucuses (50 % reported) - 44 delegates

Kamala Harris : 39 %
Chris Kennedy : 28 %

Cooper : It is 10 : 30 pm Senator Harris wins the Nevada Democratic caucuses with a 15 percentage-point margin over Governor Kennedy.

Nevada Democratic caucuses (100 % reported) - 44 delegates

Kamala Harris : 42 % ✔ - 22 delegates

KAMALA HARRIS WINS THE NEVADA DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES

Dana Bash : So that is a good night for the top 3 candidates because that win is what Senator Harris needed to boost her candidacy ahead of the South Carolina primary and also Super Tuesday after an embarrassing defeat in New Hampshire. As for Governor Kennedy, he has shown he is definitely Senator Harris’ main rival for the nomination and with a good third-place finish, John Bel Edwards can hope to have a good path to the nomination but that would be notably by strong wins in southern states on Super Tuesday where there are still obstacles for him.

King : Indeed because the African-American vote in southern states like South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee primaries are going to be likely to favor Kamala Harris like they did for Barack Obama in 2008, Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Cory Booker in 2020.

Bash : The next few weeks will also be crucial for Terry McCauliffe who is counting on an upset in South Carolina. Many of his staff said that if he doesn’t win there he will likely drop out of the race. And Senator Casey Jr.’s stance on abortion seems to be hurting him.

Cooper : Thank you ladies and gentlemen for watching the coverage of the Republican South Carolina primary and of the Nevada Democratic caucuses. We’ll see you on February 27th as we’ll be covering the Nevada Republican caucuses and the South Carolina Democratic primary.

Campaign News

REPUBLICANS

Due to her recent Victories in South Carolina & Nevada Vice President Haley received several more Endorsements from Statewide Officeholders & Congressional Lawmakers accross the Beltway particular more Moderates as Party Leaders have grown weary she is being pushed too much to the right by her fellow Candidates vying for the Nomination. Endorsements were coming from the two big States holding Super Tuesday Contests, California & Texas as well as other Delegate-rich States. Haley is nearing 50 % nationally and in several of the States holding Contests on March 5th according to Public & Private Polling.
Haleys once tepid Fundraising when she started her Campaign in May 2023 also picked up in recent months. During the month of February the Vice President raised 65.8 Million $ from big as well as small Donors. The Vice President Haleys most high profile Endorsement came from Arizona Governor & Chairwoman of the Republican Governor Association Lea Márquez Peterson and is considered a Major Blow to her fellow Contender vying for the Republican Presidential Nomination, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. Sununu was RGA Chairman during the 2022 Midterm Election and helped Márquez Peterson getting elected in Arizona. Political Pundits also say Sununus inability to push moderate former Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker out of the Presidential Race hurt him during the Nevada Caucuses and could determine some of the closer Contests on Super Tuesday. House Members Michelle Steel & Young Kim citing quote „Republicans need to establish a unifying message and not just a conservative one“ in endorsing Haley as both face tough Re-Election Bids in November in a State where Democrats are expected to win by nearly 30 Points. Meanwhile House Members in Texas like Monica de la Cruz-Hernandez & Cassandra Garcia cited holding onto the Hispanic Vote to be successful in November in endorsing Haley.
While Baker & Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton have their Home States to fall back on and Sununu has Vermont as potential Win due to the Endorsement Governor Phil Scott the Campaign of Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse seems to be on life support as Polling in many States voting on March 5th show him below the 15 % threshold to earn Delegates to the National Republican Convention in August.
Meanwhile Vice President Haley made 3 Endorsements herself endorsing Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee to replace Senator Jeff Flake as well as Re-Election Bids for Senator Condoleeza Rice (R-California) & Senator Susana Martinez (R-New Mexico).

DEMOCRATS

Due to Victories in Nevada & South Carolina, California Senator Kamala Harris, the Frontrunner for the Democratic Nomination has successfully shut down any momentum Illinois Governor Chris Kennedy gained from narrowly winning the New Hampshire Primary in early February. Senator Harris Surrogates pointed out „Our Firewalls in NV & SC held up“. While Governor Kennedy has now emerged as the Chief Rival for the California Senator he is the decided Underdog heading into the Super Tuesday March 5th Contests. His Campaign Strategy to push fellow Presidential Contenders, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards & Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey out of the Race and get into a 1:1 Showdown with Senator Harris proved to be unsuccessful. Governor Kennedy although he expected to win States like Vermont, Massachusetts and be competitive in States like Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma & Arkansas has failed to make the neccessary inroads into the African-American & Hispanic Community as Public & Private Polling indicating large leads for Senator Harris in States with high Black & Hispanic Populations which are considered the backbone of Democratic Presidential Primary Politics. CNN Exit Polls during the South Carolina Primary revealed Senator Harris beating Kennedy by almost 30 Percentage Points among African Americans.
Meanwhile Senator Harris scored a slew of new Endorsements after winning in South Carolina mostly from the more moderate Establishement Wing of the Democratic Party with most Lawmakers citing her willingness for bipartisanship to get things done particularly the „Opportunity Act“ passed by Congress in 2018 which overhauled the Countries Immigration System.
Governor Terry McAuliffes suspension & withdrawal from the Race, although he did not make an Endorsement himself, prompted several Virginia House Members & Statewide Officeholders to switch their Endorsements to the California Senator.
She also raised a staggering 76.8 Million $ during the Month of February outpacing her Rivals and is enjoying a 3-1 CoH Advantage over Governor Kennedy. Senator Harris, on the Campaign Trail, vowed not to repeat the same mistakes that dodged Senator & former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Senator Bernie Sanders in 2020, which was the worst Performance by a Democratic Presidential Nominee since Michael Dukakis in 1988 as President Rubio won with over 400 Electoral College Votes. As common for a Presidential Candidate Harris made also 3 Endorsements herself endorsing Catherine Cortez-Masto in Nevada in her bid to unseat Senator Dean Heller & Michelle Lujan-Grisham in New Mexico in her bid to unseat Senator Susana Martinez. She also endorsed her fellow Senate Colleague, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York over her Progressive Challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and vowed to campaign for Gillibrand in the State of New York which irked some Progressives.
During a Conference Call with Reporters ahead of the Presidential Debate on Sunday, March 3th 2024 and the subsequent March 5th Contests her Campaign Team said „We are prepared for everything. It will be clear after Tuesday who can win this Nomination and who can't and that Senator Harris is the only viable Option that can be successful in November“.

Marco Rubio's Presidency
March 2024, Part 1

-Justice Supreme Court Stephen Breyer announces that his intentions to retire. During a press conference at the White House, President Rubio reiterated his 2016 pledge to keep this Supreme Court vacant until next year.

-The 2024 Republican presidential candidates meet each other for a presidential primary debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California before Super Tuesday.  The debate is moderated by

The candidates were asked notably about who they had in mind to replace Stephen Breyer’s Supreme Court and they took on the occasion to praise President Rubio’s accomplishment to give America the most conservative Supreme Court in the history of America.

Tom Cotton attacks Nikki Haley for her support to long-term reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank during her time as Governor of South Carolina as he argues that it that by effectively superseding risk-based decision-making with the choices of a handful of bureaucrats pursuing political objectives, Ex-Im risks taxpayer dollars “turns out that for nearly every Ex-Im financing authorization that might advance the fortunes of a single US company, there is at least one US industry whose firms are put at a competitive disadvantage”. Vice-President Haley responds that thanks to the Ex-Im Bank is a crucial tool that both small and large businesses use to compete fairly in the world market, increase their exports, stimulate job creation, and contribute to the growth of our states' economies as assumes the credit and country risks that private sector lenders are unable or unwilling to accept, and without it, U.S. firms would lose many sales to overseas competitors and therefore allows U.S. companies and workers to compete on a level playing field against international competitors who receive extensive support from their own export credit agencies (in 2014 the Ex-Im Bank supplied more than $20 billion in financing to support approximately $27 billion in exports and supported 160,000 jobs and 90 % of its transactions supported small businesses).

Haley attacks Cotton for stating that slavery was, quote, “a necessary evil”, declaring that there hasn’t ever been any evil necessary throughout history because America has always stood in the side of good and has always and will always stand for the freedoms of all people regardless of their race, their ethnicity or their religious beliefs. “I believe it is shameful to call slavery a necessary evil. These are comments I think President Reagan would have found to be reprehensible.”, declared the Vice-President.

On the Russia topic, the candidates praised the courage of the protesters of the Russian Spring standing up to the Putin regime which is declared responsible for increasing inflation in Russia (caused by the global sanctions in response to Putin’s aggression against other countries, especially in Eastern Europe), seeking to restore democracy and integrity in Russia. They declared how much Ronald Reagan was right when he said that we have peace through strength, which is something President Rubio understood which is how, thanks to a strong military, strong diplomacy and strong alliances, America made strong progress in undermining Putin’s Russia threat by helping the Ukrainian Army retake Crimea and Donbass thanks to the provision of military arsenal and military training to the Ukrainian Armed forces, by liberating Syria from Bachar el-Assad’s tyranny (as he was a puppet of Putin), by designating Putin’s Russia as a state-sponsor of terror, by standing reinforcing the U.S. Navy’s presence in the Kuril Islands to help Japan in the Japan-Russia territorial feud for the control of this archipel, by establishing the U.S. Space Force in order to protect America’s GPS satellites from Russian anti-satellite weaponry thus ensuring the guidance of the U.S. Armed Forces in their counter-terrorism operations and by investing nuclear triad of intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarines and strategic bombers, as well as the nuclear command and control system for the sake of the development of new systems like the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent in an effort to counter Russia’s and China’s investments in intercontinental missiles. They stated that if elected President they will work to normalize relations with Russia if Serguei Polonsky, isolationist candidate and opponent of the Putin regime, gets elected this spring which will be a great opportunity to advance global peace by restoring peace and stability in Europe and Middle East through stopping Russian agression and by dismantling dangerous Russian nuclear weapons.

The candidates were also asked whether they believed Ronald Reagan would be endorsing them if he was still alive and if so why. Vice-President Haley argued Reagan would because he governed with unshakable principles as there were times like when he deployed Pershing missiles to Europe to counter the Soviet threat there were hundreds of thousands of demonstrators opposing that move but he stood by it. She also mentioned that Reagan faced in Reykjavik a compromise on SDI testing but stood on his principles. She takes on the occasion that in the last 8 years, President Rubio stood on principle leading America to victory in Afghanistan, even when world opinion argued for a withdrawal, by ordering a troop surge there and getting India militarily involved with a temporary reduction of aid to Pakistan to get Islamabad fully involved in the fight against terror (which combined the military strengths of the first and fourth military powers in the world). She also mentionned the fact that she and the President stood on principle standing up to Putin’s Russia for the sake of freedom, peace, stability and liberty and she promised to follow this tradition of sticking to principles and doing what she believes in no matter what. Tom Cotton argued that Ronald Reagan was serious about the promotion of the culture of life and the protection of the Constitution. Chris Sununu argued that what made Ronald Reagan a great President is he brought America back together and believe in itself and in its greatness again just like he did in New Hampshire bringing both parties together to get things done on taxes, fighting Opioid Crisis

-The 2024 Democratic presidential candidates meet each other for the final primary debate before Super Tuesday at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The debate is moderated by CNN. The candidates praised Stephen Breyer’s contributions, including voting to uphold Obamacare, his fight for a clean environment and for abortion rights and his writing of the majority opinion in Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama, which ruled that racial gerrymandering claims must be looked at district by district, and struck down four of Alabama's state Senate districts as unconstitutional racial gerrymanders.

They were asked about the potential consequences of his retirement. Chris Kennedy and Kamala Harris took on the occasion to attack John Bel Edwards and Bob Casey Jr. on their pro-life stances. In fact Governor Kennedy said during the debate that Senator Casey Jr. was neither pro-choice nor pro-life but multiple-choice because he is against abortion but voted against the Supreme Court nominations of Justices Mike Lee, William Pryor, Amy Comey Barret and Barbara Lagoa, calling that record inconsistent. Harris declared that the Democratic Party needs to be a pro-choice party, needs to nominate someone who will stand up for women’s right to choose and that in John Bel Edwards they don’t have that kind of candidate.

When asked about what makes her more qualified than Chris Kennedy to govern, Harris stated that she has respect for Kennedy and his family’s legacy but she has a record of reaching across the aisle, including sponsoring the Opportunity Act with Republican Senator Jeff Flake that secured the borders and reformed America’s immigration system and supporting President Rubio’s successful Middle East agenda that restored stability, freedom and peace in Afghanistan thanks to a troop surge and Indian military intervention alongside the U.S. there in 2017. Chris Kennedy answers that voters are searching candidates with record of leadership, stating his record of raising Illinois’ minimum wage to $15/hour. Kennedy also says that most of the time in history voters chose a nominee with executive experience, which has been seen for both parties (Jimmy Carter was a Governor in 1976, Mondale a Vice-President in 1984, Michael Dukakis a Governor in 1988, Bill Clinton a Governor 1992, Al Gore a Vice-President in 2000, John Kerry a former Lieutenant-Governor in 2004, Hillary Clinton a Secretary of State in 2016 and Bernie Sanders a former Mayor in 2020), in order to ensure ability to get things done.

PART 2

SENATE LANDSCAPE SHIFTS TOWARDS DEMOCRATS

(TOSS UP STATES)

ARIZONA

Much has changed since we last visited the Arizona Senate Race. After Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) announced on August 15th 2023 that he would not seek a 3rd Term Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee (R-Arizona) announced her own Senate Run on October 3rd 2023. Yee quickly earned the Endorsements of Governor Lea Márquez Peterson, Congresswoman Meghan McCain & Arizona Senator Martha McSally. When former popular Arizona Doug Ducey announced in November 2023 that he would not seek the Senate Seat vacated by Flake Republicans had hoped to clear the Primary Field for Yee. Since then former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R-Arizona) who lost in the Republican Senate Special Election Primary to fill the Seat of the late Senator John McCain to current Senator McSally in 2021 announced his own Run.
Polls however are showing Yee with a wide lead over Brnovich, in fact the latest ABC15/OH Predictive Insights Survey shows Yee with a commanding 63-30 lead over the former Arizona Attorney General. Yee has also being recently endorsed by Vice President & 2024 Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley.
On the Democratic Side it looks like we have a 3-Way Primary as former Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema, former Astronaut & Husband of fmr U. S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords Mark Kelly and Congressman Raul Grijalva announced Senate Runs in a span of 5 Weeks. Mark Kelly has endorsed California Senator & Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris in the hopes of getting her Endorsement in his Senate Primary but Harris thus far has stayed mum on the subject. The ABC15/OH Predictive Insights Survey shows Sinema in the lead with 30 % of the Vote followed by Kelly at 27 % and Grijalva at 22 %.

CALIFORNIA

A lot has also changed in the State of California since we last visited the Senate Race. Senator Condoleeza Rice (R-California) who remains the most vulnerable Republican Senator in the 2024 Election Cycle and considered Retirement decided at the urging of National Party Leaders including President Rubio & Vice President Haley to seek Re-Election.
At the end of September last year, after meeting with DSCC Officials, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-California), who is term-limited in 2026 ultimativly decided not to challenge Senator Rice prompting former California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, former Secretary of State Debra Brown and Congresswoman Barbara Lee to jump into the Race.
Recent Polls in the Golden State are showing Padilla with a large lead garnerning 36 % of the Vote followed Senator Rice & Brown at 25 % with Congresswoman Lee at 11 % and 4 % Undecided. Currently Senator Rice is at severe risk making it out of the Top-2 Jungle Primary to advance to the November General Election prompting a flurry of National Republicans to help her out.
In the November General Election Padilla leads Brown 52-42 and Rice 55-35 according to early Polling. The California Statewide Primary for Senate & Congress will be held on the same Day as the Presidential Preference Primary which might give Democrats a Shot eliminating Rice early.

FLORIDA

Much has also changed since we last took a look at the Senate Race in Florida back in September 2023. At that Point Senator Rick Scott (R-Florida) appeared to have a reasonable safe passage for Re-Election. However in late September/early October Congresswoman Val Demings (D-Florida) announced a surprising Run for Senate challenging Scott giving Democrats some hope in an otherwise Republican-leaning State. While Scott won quite comfortably in 2018, during the Republican Midterm Wave, beating then Senator Bill Nelson his Approvals during his Senate tenure thus far have been tepid. In fact, Scotts Approvals are tied (45/44) while President Rubio is enjoying a healthy 67 % Approval Rating in his Home State. Coupled with President Rubio not being on the Ballot this November, low Approvals by the Incumbent and a strong Democratic Recruit Political Handicappers decided to move the Race from LEANS REPUBLICAN to TOSS UP.

GEORGIA SPECIAL ELECTION

(PARTIAL TERM)

The passing of the late Senator Johnny Isakson (R) has triggered a Special Election for his vacated Senate Seat. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) appointed his Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan (R) to the Seat angering many Republicans on the right who view Duncan as too moderate. Kelly Loeffler, the CEO of Intercontinental Exchange has jumped into the Race and many other Republicans in the Georgia Republican Congressional Delegation taking a look at this Race as well.
On the Democratic Side Pastor Raphael Warnock and former Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux have jumped into the Race. All Candidates are running on a Jungle Primary Ballot November 5th 2024, the same Day as the Presidential Election with the Top 2 Vote Getters advancing to a Runoff Election in January.

Declared Candidates

NEW MEXICO

Not much has changed since we last looked at the New Mexico Senate Race during our Rundown in September of last year except that Incumbent Senator Susana Martinez (R) has made it official that she is running for Re-Election which was wildly expected. Democrats got also a bit of a silver lining in the State as Rep. Deb Haarland, who was contemplating to run for this Seat opted to run for Re-Election to the House instead all but clearing the way for former Rep. Michelle Lujàn-Grisham to be the Democratic Senate Nominee who now faces only token Opposition in the June Statewide Primary.
Martinez is considered to be the 2nd most vulnerable Republican Senator running for Re-Election after California Senator Rice having beaten Senator Martin Heinrich during the 2018 Republican Wave by only 5000 Votes and with potential higher Hispanic Turnout during a Presidential Year Democrats are liking their chances to win this Seat.
Both Major Candidates have received Endorsements from the Frontrunners running for the Republican & Democratic Presidential Nomination with Vice President Nikki Haley having endorsed Martinez and California Senator Kamala Harris having endorsed Lujàn-Grisham.

NEVADA

Nevada is another State during the 2024 Election Cycle where Democrats are hoping to flip a Senate Seat from Red to Blue. Political Handicappers are rating the Nevada Senate Race as 3rd most likely Republican-held Seat to switch Parties this November. Similarly to Senator Rice in California Senator Dean Heller was considering Retirement before he decided at the urging of National Leaders especially President Rubio and Senate Majority Leader Cory Gardner to seek Re-Election. Democrats meanwhile looks like will have a 3-Way Primary between former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez-Masto, former Rep. Jacky Rosen and former Rep. Dina Titus, who lost to Senator Joe Heck during the 2022 Midterm Elections which was considered a lost Opportunity for National Democrats. The Democratic Frontrunner for the 2024 Democratic Presidential Nomination, California Senator Kamala Harris has endorsed Cortez-Masto and appeared with her at several Campaign Events before and during the Nevada Democratic Caucuses where Harris emerged victorious.
Meanwhile the DSCC, the Democratic Senate Campaign Arm who is tasked helping Democrats getting elected to the Senate has vowed to stay neutral in the Democratic Senate Primary.

WISCONSIN

Wisconsin was considered a mixed bag for both Parties after the 2022 Midterm Elections. Republicans managed to hold the Open Governor Seat while on the flipside failing to retain the Open Senate Seat after the Retirement of Senator Ron Johnson. Although President Rubio won twice here and the State having a rightward trend during his tenure as President the large Democratic Vote Bastions in Milwaukee & Madison is making the State still a Toss Up. Since we last visited the Senate Race last September Senator Mark Green (R) launched his Re-Election Campaign.
With Senator Tammy Baldwin deciding not to seek a Rematch with Green National Democrats turned to Congressman Mark Pocan, who declared his Candidacy lst October. With Republicans having their National Convention in Milwaukee this Summer it remains to be seen if this Race will stay competitive. For now it remains a Toss Up.

Declined
Former Senator Tammy Baldwin (D)
Declared Candidates

MICHIGAN

Similarly to the neighboring State of Wisconsin, Michigan has been trending right over recent Election Cycles. Candidate Rubio and President Rubio managed to win the States' 16 Electoral Votes in 2016 and 2020 (The State will lose one EV due to the 2020 Census) and in 2018 then Businessman John James caused a Major Upset by beating 3-Term Incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow by a surprisingly large 6-Point margin therefore becoming the first African American Senator from the Wolverine State. Senator John James has already said that he will run for a Second Term in 2024.
After taking a long and hard look at the Race Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced at a Press Conference in November that she would not be a Candidate for Senate in 2024.

I will not be Candidate for the United States Senate and intend to serve out my Term as Governor of Michigan.

Soon after Whitmers Announcement Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced her own Run for Senate and so did Rep. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Haley Stevens. Rep. Andy Levin, son of former Rep. Sander Levin and nephew of former Senator Carl Levin meanwhile decided not to run.
Early Polls have shown Benson having a lead over Slotkin & Stevens due to her more universal Name Recognition.

MONTANA

Since we last visited the Montana Senate Race back in September Senator Greg Gianforte made it official on November 1st 2023 that he is running for Governor of Montana challenging embattled Governor Tim Fox in the Republican Primary.
Followed by Senator Gianfortes Announcement former Congressman & Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced on December 6th 2023 that would run to replace Gianforte in the Senate.
Meanwhile on the Democratic Side, both former Governor Steve Bullock and former Senator Jon Tester annouced that they would not run for United States Senate leaving Senate Democrats without a Top Candidate in this Race. This is probably due to the increasing Republican Trend in the State. The DSCC though still managed to recruit former Montana Lieutenant Governor Mike Cooney which is the reason the Race stays at LEAN REPUBLICAN for now.

VERMONT

In a bright Spot for Senate Republicans during an otherwise Democratic favourable Map in 2024 the NRSC managed to recruit poplular Vermont Governor Phil Scott to run for the Senate Seat held by Progressive Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who announced on September 2nd 2023, shortly after the August Recess that he would not seek Re-Election in 2024. Scott made his own Senate Announcement on September 16th 2023. Scott will still face an uphill battle with Rep. Peter Welch who announced his own Run to replace Sanders in the Senate.

Senator John Kasich of Ohio and Senator Ann Wagner of Missouri have both indicated that they will be running for Re-Election in November.
Democratic Senators Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Tim Kaine of Virginia have both indicated that they are running for Re-Election next year as well.
It's unclear whether Senator Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania, who is running for President, would run again should his Presidential Campaign fizzle out.

(SAFE STATES)

NEW YORK

A new Poll from the Siena Research Institute indicates Incumbent Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is in a Toss Up Race with her Progressive Challenger, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among New York Democratic Primary Voters with Gillibrand holding a small 47-44 Advantage over Ocasio-Cortez. Gillibrand recently received the Endorsement of Democratic Presidential Frontrunner, California Senator Kamala Harris. The Primaries for Senate & Congress in New York will be held on April 23rd 2024.

MASSACHUSETTS

A new Poll from the Boston Globe & Suffolk University also indicates 74-year old Incumbent Senator Elizabeth Warren might be in some Hot Water for Renomination. Warren and her more Progressive Challenger, Rep. Joe Kennedy III are tied at 46 % each. Many Political Handicappers contributing the tightness of the Race due to Illinois Governor Chris Kennedys Standing with Masschusetts Voters as he seeks to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee. The Senate Primary in the Bay State though isn't until September so Rep. Kennedys Challenge to Senator Warren might have fizzled out by then.

THE 2024 SENATE BATTLEGROUND MAP
(March 2024)

SOLID REPUBLICAN (10 Seats)
LEAN REPUBLICAN (3 Seats)
TOSS UP (8 Seats)
LEAN DEMOCRAT (4 Seats)
SOLID DEMOCRAT (10 Seats)

A lot has changed since we last looked at the Senate Map in September 2023. Democrats continue to have some very strong Pick Up Opportunities in the West with Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico and they have added Florida & the Georgia Senate Special Election as potential Pick Up Opportunities. Michigan and Wisconsin remain in the Toss Up Category and those two States could depend heavily which Presidential Nominee wins the two States on the Presidential Level. If Republicans win the two Upper Midwest States on the Presidential Level they will likely carry Senators Green and James over the Finish Line. Senators Kasich (Ohio), Wagner (Missouri), as well as the now Open (Montana) Race remain in the Lean Republican Territory. Senator Kasich is considered to have the safest of the four Races. Democrats are at greatest risk in Minnesota & Pennsylvania. Those States just like the entire Upper Midwest and Rust Belt have been trending Republican so they will start as Leaners. In a bright Spot for Republicans Vermont has been moved to the Lean Democratic Category due to the Entrance Governor Scott. Virginia stays in the Lean Democratic Territory given the Demographic Changes in Northern Virginia and the Norfolk/Hampton Roads Area. The changing Senate Map is also a reflection of the overextention by Republicans due to the 2018 Republican Midterm Wave.

Incumbent Governor John Carney (D) is term-limited and cannot seek Reelection.
There has been some Movement in Delaware since we last took a look at the Race. Lieutenant Governor Bethanie Hall-Long launched her long anticipated Campaign for Governor to replace Carney. As expected Attorney General Kathy Jennings and State Auditor Kathy McGuiness followed suit.
On the Republican Side Attorney Julianne Murray, who ran against Governor Carney in 2020 announced she would run again in 2024.

The Indiana Republican Primary has become very crowded since we last looked at the Race in September. Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch threw her hat into the ring in October followed shortly thereafter by State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell. The most high profile Republican to jump into this Open Governor Race was non other than Rep. Greg Pence, Son of Senator Mike Pence while scandal-plagued former Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson took himself out of the running. Meanwhile shortly before the Filling Deadline closed Attorney General & former Congressman Todd Rokita announced his own run. On the Democratic Side former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has all but locked up the Democratic Nomination as he only faces token Opposition.

Fox fended off two Republican Primary Challengers by underwhelming margins in 2020 and then went on to beat Lieutenant Governor Mike Cooney to succeed popular Governor Steve Bullock as Governor when Bullock, who was already termed out, decided to run for the Presidency in 2020 and then later dropped down to the Senate Race losing to Senator Steve Daines.
As expected on November 1st 2023 Senator Greg Gianforte made it official that he would run to challenge Tim Fox in a Republican Primary. Meanwhile former Montana Lieutenant Governor Mike Cooney took himself out of the running and is running for the United States Senate instead. Shortly after Cooney took himself out of the running former Senator Jon Tester as well as former Governor Steve Bullock also announced they would not run leaving Montana Democrats scrambling to find a suitable Candidate.

Incumbent Governor Dan Forest (R) will seek Reelection to a 2nd Term as Governor of North Carolina. Despite President Rubio carrying North Carolinas' 15 Electoral Votes by a decisive margin during the 2020 Presidential Election Forest beat popular Governor Roy Cooper by less than 30.000 Votes in 2020. Cooper went on to win the 2022 Senate Race against former Governor Pat McCrory. The State of North Carolina continues to change though and Forest will face a serious General Election Challenge from Attorney General Josh Stein.
Stein was considered a shoe-in to be the Democratic Governor Nominee in North Carolina but in late September 2023 former North Carolina State Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley threw her hat into the ring making the Democratic Governor Primary a Toss Up. Some Political Handicappers made Beasley even the slight Favourite as the Primary approached citing potential high Turnout among African-Americans because of the North Carolina Presidential Primary which is held the same Day. It remains to be seen if that will have an impact.

Incumbent Governor Doug Burgum (R) will seek Reelection to a 3rd Term as Governor of North Dakota. Burgum won a surprise Primary Victory over North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem in 2016 after failing to get the Endorsement from the North Dakota Republican Party at their State Convention. He went on to win the 2016 & 2020 General Elections quite easily. Burgum is currently one of the most popular Governors in the Nation and is expected to face only token Primary and General Opposition next year.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Incumbent Governor Chris Sununu (R) is running for the Republican Nomination for President and will not seek Re-Election to a 4th Term. Sununu decided to run for Governor in 2016 after Incumbent Governor Maggie Hassan (D) decided to challenge Senator Kelly Ayotte. Ayotte went on to beat Hassan but lost 6 years later during 2022 Midterm Elections to current Senator Ann-McLane Kuster (D). Meanwhile Sununu went on to win 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022 quite comfortable before deciding in early 2023 to run for the Republican Presidential Nomination.
As expect former New Hampshire Senator & Attorney General Kelly Ayotte announced her long anticipated Run for Governor to succeed Governor Sununu earlier this year. Ayotte is likely to clear the Republican Primary Field which is very important given that the New Hampshire Primary is very late in the Season.
On the Democratic Side Stefany Shaheen, Daughter of former Senator Jeanne Shaheen and 2016' Democratic Nominee Colin van Ostern announced their Runs after former Governor Maggie Hassan declined to run. Shaheen has endorsed the Democratic Frontrunner for the Democratic Nomination, California Senator Kamala Harris.

UTAH

Incumbent Governor Spencer Cox (R) will seek Reelection to a 2nd Term as Governor of Utah. Cox, well known for his moderate stance of Issues won a crowded Republican Primary in 2020 and went on to win the General Election quite easily to succeed Governor Gary Herbert. Cox is likely going to face only token Opposition in the Primary & General Elections next year.

VERMONT

Incumbent Governor Phill Scott's (R) announced his Run for the United States Senate on September 16th 2023 forgoing a Bid for Re-Election after Senator Bernie Sanders (I/D) announced earlier in the month that he would retire at the end of his current Term. Former Vermont Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie (R) shortly thereafter announced his own Run to replace Scott. On the Democratic Side former Lieutenant Governor David Zuckermann & Attorney General T. J. Donovan have announced their own Runs to replace Scott as Governor.

WASHINGTON

Popular Incumbent Governor Jay Inslee (D) after three Terms as Governor has decided not to seek Re-Election for a fourth Term. Inslee served in the United States House of Representatives continously between 1998 and 2012 when he decided to run for Governor to replace scandal-plagued Governor Christine Gregoire. He went on to win the Democratic Nomination for Governor and the General Election defeating Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna by a close 51-49 Vote. In 2016, running for a 2nd Term he beat Republican Bill Bryant by a more comfortable 54-46 Vote. In 2020, when President Rubio carried Washington State's 12 Electoral Votes for the first time since Ronald Reagan in 1984 Inslee narrowly won Re-Election again over Loren Culp.
Since we last looked at the Washington Governor Race in September 2023 all the Major Candidates, Attorney General Bob Ferguson, King County Executive Dow Constantine and Secretary of State Kim Wyman all announced Runs to replace Inslee as Governor.

WEST VIRJGINIA (OPEN SEAT)

Incumbent Governor Jim Justice (R) is term-limited and cannot seek Reelection. Justice ran as a Democrat in the 2016 West Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Primary defeating Booth Goodwin and Jeff Kessler. Justice went on to win the General Election over Republican Bob Cole by a 49-42 margin. Less than 7 months into his tenure as Governor he switched back to the Republican Party rallying with President Rubio to defeat former Governor & then appointed Senator Earl Ray Tomblin (D) after Tomblin replaced Senator Shelley Moore-Capito in the Senate upon Capito becoming President Rubio's Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency. Justice went on to win a comfortable Re-Election in 2020 when President Rubio carried the State by over 40 Percentage Points. The Democratic Governors Association is pushing former Governor & Senator Joe Manchin (D) to run for his old Job. However after taking a hard look at the Race Manchin decided not to seek his old Job.
On the Republican Side State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey also declined a Governor Run leaving State Senate President Craig Blair, State Agriculture Commissioner Kent Leonhardt and State Auditor J. B. McCuskey to duke it out in the Republican Primary.
The Absense of Manchin promted Political Handicappers to move the West Virginia Governor Race from LEAN REPUBLICAN to SOLID REPUBLICAN.

SUPER TUESDAY 2024, PART 1

CNN America's Choice theme : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvpd4myQXs



Anderson Cooper : Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m Anderson Cooper from CNN’s Election Center. I welcome you to the coverage of the Super Tuesday 2024 that will likely be a springboard in both parties' nomination for President of the United States. We can now have our first projections in Vermont and Virginia.

John King : On the Republican side we can see that Governor Chris Sununu is ahead by 14 percentage points over Charlie Baker. In Virginia we can project that VP Nikki Haley has the lead, a wide lead thanks to support in southeastern regions, including Virginia Beach and Norfolk. On the Dem side we can see that Chris Kennedy is leading the pack in Vermont while Kamala Harris does the same in Virginia thanks to mass support from African-American voters

Vermont Republican primary (25 % reported) - 17 delegates

Chris Sununu : 39 %
Charlie Baker : 25 %
Nikki Haley : 20 %

Cooper : It is 7 : 30 pm and we can project that Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris increased their leads by winning in Virginia's northern counties where they get the advantage of minority voters in Alexandria and Arlington. We can now start covering the states of Georgia, North Carolina and Massachusetts.

Jake Tapper : Indeed in Georgia VP Haley is leading Senator Tom Cotton by single digits and in by double digits in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Charlie Baker is leading in his home state of Massachusetts. For the Dems we can watch that Kamala Harris leads big in both Georgia and North Carolina for the same reason as Virginia while Chris Kennedy has a large lead in Massachusetts, the home state of the Kennedy family where both JFK and Ted Kennedy were Senators before running for President.

And Governor Baker scores his first win in the primary season by winning his home state of Massachusetts over Chris Sununu. On the Democratic side, we can project that Kamala Harris wins the Virginia Democratic primary while Chris Kennedy wins the primaries in Vermont and Massachusetts.

Cooper : We can also project in Georgia that both Haley and Harris have increased their leads there by sweeping the Atlanta and Athens areas. It sounds like the attacks on Tom Cotton's comments on slavery claiming that it was, quote, a "necessary evil" hurt him among the African-American voters. We can cover more states as Alabama, Tennessee and Oklahoma closed their polling places. In Alabama we can see a tossup race between Vice-President Haley and Senator Cotton, the same in Oklahoma but Haley leading by 7 in Tennessee over Cotton. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris wins Alabama and is neck in neck in a battle with Chris Kennedy and John Bel Edwards in Tennessee and Oklahoma.

King : At this hour we can see the first results from Arkansas, Minnesota and Missouri. Tom Cotton has won his first primary in his home state of Arkansas. In Minnesota, Chris Sununu has a fair lead over Nikki Haley who is leading in Missouri thanks to massive support in St. Louis and neighboring counties. On the other party's side, Kamla Harris has the advantage in Arkansas while she is battling Chris Kennedy for first place in Minnesota and Missouri where the Illinois Governor takes the advantage of the fact that the St. Louis areas are bordering his home state as the primary indicates strong turnout in this area.

SUPER TUESDAY 2024, PART 2

CNN America's Choice theme : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvpd4myQXs



Anderson Cooper : Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m Anderson Cooper from CNN’s Election Center. Welcome back to the coverage of the Super Tuesday 2024. We have seen progress in the voting count in the states that haven't yet been called.

Dana Bash : In effect, Senator Cotton has made progress in Alabama by winning in the more rural counties while Nikki Haley wins in Montgomery and Mobile. In Tennessee Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris saw their leads reduced but compensate their losses by winning in the Nashville and Chattanooga areas. In Oklahoma we can see that Nikki Haley wins the Oklahoma City area but Cotton takes the upper hand in the rural counties and Chris Kennedy narrowly leads Kamala Harris thanks to white voters, an electorate he is contesting with Governor Edwards. In Minnesota, Kennedy and Harris are shifting leads due to shared supremacy in the Twin Cities (Saint Paul and Minneapolis) and Chris Sununu increased his lead in that state thanks to moderate support in the Twin Cities and in southern Minnesota. In Missouri, we see a showdown between Vice-President Haley and Senator Cotton who is imposing his supremacy in the suburban areas while the Vice-President wins the western counties. On the Democratic side Chris Kennedy manages to increase the distance between him and Kamala Harris by winning in the rural counties.

Cooper : Meanwhile in Texas, on the Republican side, Nikki Haley considerably strenghtened her lead after winning in Austin, San Antonio and El Paso where she got strong support from the Hispanic community, the same for Kamala Harris in the regions I just mentionned. In New Mexico now, Nikki Haley is leading the Republican pack by 15 percentage points thanks to strong leads in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. On the Democratic side, Harris is cruising to victory.

Bash : And in Colorado, Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris are leading their primary rivals thanks to massive support in Denver. And in North Dakota, the vote-by-mail seems to be giving a surprisingly insurmountable advance for Kamala Harris.

Cooper : That is proven to be a great night for Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris they have won most of the primaries, including the big contests.

Bash : We have reports that Charlie Baker and Ben Sasse dropped out of the race after Super Tuesday.

CHARLIE BAKER DROPS OUT OF THE RACE
BEN SASSE DROPS OUT OF THE RACE
Cooper : Baker has suffered the same fate as one of his predecessors Mitt Romney in 2008, though Romney in the sense that he lost all the early states (Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina), which deprived him of momentum.

King : The difference is Romney won 11 states and Baker won just his state of Massachusetts. By the way we have also received reports that Bob Casey Jr. dropped out of the race.

BOB CASEY JR. DROPS OUT OF THE RACE
Bash : His pro-life positions have hurt him. Kamala Harris and Chris Kennedy attacked him on this as America has the most conservative SCOTUS in history, which alienated pro-choice voters.

Cooper : So that concludes Super Tuesday 2024. Thank you for watching and have a good night.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I love this so much

Certainly, it is an Atlas classic.
