6. Snakes in the Senate

This week, the Bill Bradley Collective presents “Snakes in the Senate,” a snake-draft style conversation about the forthcoming Senate races where red incumbents find their prospects for (re-)election in varying degrees of peril. The eligible contests are broken down into three categories, as round one examines those where the Democratic candidate appears likely to win, round two focuses on the “coin-flip” seats, and finally round three surveys blue challengers facing seemingly long-odds. What ensues is a thorough primer of what to watch for November 3rd as Democrats look to regain control of the Senate in this election year of immeasurable consequence. But first the rants, where Andrew considers the market context and value of running backs in today’s NFL following Le’Veon Bell’s departure from the Jets, Zak castigates Dianne Feinstein for her pitiful display during the week’s Barrett Supreme Court hearings, and Ed excoriates a Feinstein colleague for his latest bit of sanctimonious Trump critiques, despite his lengthy voting record in lock-step with 45’s objectives.
