Keep it 100: 5 Senate Races To Watch On Election Day
Former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley hopes to rack up a Democratic win in the state, which has vacillated between supporting Democrats and Republicans in the last several election cycles. Like Demings in Florida, Beasley has a fair chance of picking up a Senate seat for Democrats in a purple southern state and becoming one of a very few Black women to ever serve in the US Senate. Also like Demings, Beasley’s supporters have faulted the national Democratic Party for not adequately backing her campaign, even as Republicans backing Rep. Ted Budd have spent over $40 million against her and polls have the two candidates virtually tied. Beasley, however, has the advantage of running for an open seat rather than against an incumbent and hopes to put the opportunity – and a recent endorsement by former President Barack Obama – to good use.
Each of these races has the potential to make history for the US Senate, and they could be decisive in determining what party takes control of Congress and shapes the direction of the country for the next two years. As citizens in these states mobilize and vote with rare enthusiasm, the whole country will be watching these races closely.
