Two Senate Races Could Change the Senate Alignment in 2020

The current Senate Makeup is 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats/Independent.

Right now, Four Senate Republican Defections are needed to Block Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Trump's Plan to Ram through an Extreme Conservative Justice to Replace Progressive Icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg, against her Dying Wish. So far we have Two confirmed NO. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

But Two tight Senate Races this November 2020, Mark Kelly (D) in Arizona and Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) in Georgia, are Special Elections Replacing Senators. If Democrats win, they would be Seated in November, not January 2021 like everyone else.

There's extra Value in turning the Arizona and Georgia Senate Seats Blue, to potentially Deny McConnell the Votes he needs to Replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).

One wrinkle is the Arizona Senate Contest, which is a Special Election. Republican Sen. Martha McSally currently holds the Seat. But if the Democratic Nominee, Mark Kelly, Defeats her, he will likely be Seated before the other New Senators, once the Results of the Election are Certified, which could be in late November.

Mark Kelly is a Former Astronaut whose Life has been personally impacted by Gun Violence when his Wife, Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, almost Lost her Life in a Shooting. He's Campaigning on Stricter Gun Laws, Paid Family Leave, and Closing the Wage Gap. He's also emphasizing the Urgency of the Climate Crisis, saying that, as an Astronaut, we only have One World and need to Save it.

The same is true in Georgia, if Rev. Raphael Warnock gets over 50% against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Warnock is Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Same Church where Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Served as Pastor. He is Rejecting Corporate PAC Money and Campaigning on Voting Rights, Secure Elections, and Ending Private Prisons.

The Cook Political Report lists these Races among the most Contested in the Nation. Arizona leans Democrat, Georgia leans Republican, both will be down to the wire. FiveThirtyEight shows Kelly leading in Arizona and Warnock within Five Points in Georgia.
