From Alabama to Texas, here are the most interesting races in the 2020 fight for Senate control
div > div.group > p:first-child"> But don't forget about the Senate Republicans the president relies on to push his nominees and policy goals through Congress.
Jones beat Moore — who faced accusations of sexual misconduct with teenagers decades ago — by about 1.5 percentage points in December 2017. But defending his seat in a higher turnout presidential election year in a state Trump carried by nearly 30 percentage points will prove a tougher task for the senator.
Asked where they stand on the 2020 Senate election, 40% of Alabama voters said they would vote to re-elect Jones, versus 50% who responded that they would replace him with a generic Republican, according to the Mason-Dixon poll. McSally has largely aligned with Trump during her three months in the Senate. While she supported the president's national emergency declaration to secure funds for his proposed border wall, she opposed his recent threats to shut down the border with Mexico. The move would damage businesses in border states such as Arizona and Texas, and strategists say it could hurt incumbents running in those states next year.
The field vying to take on Gardner has already started to fill up. Former Obama administration official Dan Baer, former U.S. attorney John Walsh, former state Sen. Mike Johnston and former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff have entered the race. Perdue has reliably voted with Senate Republicans during Trump's presidency. Abrams, when running for governor, made health care her signature issue. She pushed for Georgia, one of 14 states not to approve Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, to widen access to the federal and state health insurance program for low-income Americans.
Collins is among the Senate Republicans who breaks with her party most often. She cast one of the three Republican votes that shot down her party's attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Since February, she voted to terminate Trump's emergency declaration, end U.S. support for the Yemen conflict and oppose Andrew Wheeler's nomination to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
Trump carried Michigan by fewer than 11,000 votes and may need to win the state again to hold the White House. Still, Peters has not voted like a lawmaker fearing for his political future — he has aligned with his Democratic colleagues on just about all major issues. Shaheen won her last election in 2014 by about 3 percentage points over former GOP Sen. Scott Brown. During Trump's presidency, she has voted mostly along the Democratic Party line.The senator ended the first quarter with $1.5 million on hand.Along with Collins, Tillis has annoyed both sides of the political aisle in a competitive state ahead of a tough re-election bid.
On the Democratic side, state Sen. Erica Smith and former Mecklenburg County Commissioners Chair Trevor Fuller have both launched campaigns for Senate.
