At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this RedState article, Adam Turner argues that despite media narratives suggesting Democrats are positioned to take the Senate in 2026, Republicans still hold the structural advantage.
- Republicans currently hold a 53–47 Senate majority, meaning Democrats would need a net gain of four seats to take control.
- Turner argues Democrats’ main problem is that only two Republican-held seats — Maine and North Carolina — are in truly competitive states.
- He says most GOP seats up in 2026 are in states Donald Trump won by double digits, making Democratic flips difficult.
- The article points to Republican funding advantages through the RNC, NRSC, Senate Leadership Fund, and MAGA PAC as another major obstacle for Democrats.
- In Alaska, Turner views Sen. Dan Sullivan as favored despite polling showing former Rep. Mary Peltola competitive.
- In Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff is described as the favorite for now, though Turner argues his left-wing record could hurt him in a Republican-leaning state.
- In Iowa, Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson is portrayed as the likely favorite to hold Joni Ernst’s retiring seat.
- In Maine, Turner argues Sen. Susan Collins remains favored despite polling trouble against Democrat Graham Platner.
- In Michigan, the article says Democrats face a messy primary while Republican Mike Rogers waits for the general election.
- In Texas, Turner says Ken Paxton’s primary win over John Cornyn creates some risk, but he still rates the seat as leaning Republican.
