Political observers say things are looking good for Senate Republicans hoping to regain the majority in the November election. Much of the optimism comes from the here fact that Democrats have far more seats up for re-election in 2024 than Republicans.  20 democrats, and  THREE Independents who caucus with the Democrats, against only TEN Republicans. Add to that recent developments in Maryland where popular former GOP governor Larry Hogan may give his party the best chace in decades to a a statewide federsl electioj in decades. And in Montana businessman Tim Sheehy is seen as a candidate strong enough to flip the seat of rare red-state Democrat Jon Tester.
