Cook Political Report moves three close Senate races, two in favor of Democrats.
Montana (D – Tester): Likely Dem to Lean Dem →
Texas (R – Cruz): Lean Rep. to Toss Up ←
West Virginia (D – Manchin): Toss Up to Lean Dem ←
Cook Report discusses tossup and other close races:
In Florida, Scott has heavily outspent Nelson but has not buried him.
In Indiana, Democrats feel good about Donnelly’s chances as Braun squandered the summer.
In Missouri, McCaskill is walking a fine line between Democrats in urban St. Louis and Kansas City and the rural voters some of whom supported her in the past.
In North Dakota, Heitkamp is running a strong race, but Democrats are nervous.
In Nevada, Heller has the most vulnerable Republican held seat.
In Arizona, Sinema has come under attack after the primary and has lost some of her edge.
In Tennessee, Bredesen has run a solid race with a moderate tone, but Republicans think Blackburn will eventually consolidate her base.
In Texas, O'Rourke has generated a lot of enthusiasm against an unpopular Cruz, but getting the last couple of points he needs to win will be difficult.
