The House and much of the Senate will be up for grabs this election cycle.
From The National Pulse. Which political party controls the White House and the immense power of the executive branch isn’t the only contest set to be decided during the 2024 election in just over 20 days. Control of Congress will also be decided, with the entire U.S. House of Representatives and one-third of the U.S. Senate up for grabs.

The 2024 election cycle provides the Republican Party with the best opportunity to take and hold the Senate for the next several years, with far more Democrat-controlled seats up for election than Republican-controlled ones.
The National Pulse has compiled a breakdown of the key Senate races, including candidate backgrounds, polling dynamics, and other essential details. …
WEST VIRGINIA: JIM JUSTICE V. GLENN ELLIOTT.
There is one Senate seat that is all but certain to flip from Democrat to Republican, and that is the one held by retiring Democrat-turned-Independent Senator Joe Manchin. …
… Instead, popular Governor Jim Justice (R-WV)—who himself switched parties from Democrat to Republican and endorsed President Donald J. Trump—will face Democratic Party candidate Glenn Elliott. …
While there has been scant polling of the contest between Justice and Elliott, the few surveys that have been conducted all have the Republican populist governor winning upwards of two-thirds of the vote. …
OHIO: SHERROD BROWN V. BERNIE MORENO.
Another potential Senate pick-up for Republicans is the seat currently held by Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH). …
In the past, Brown has been able to hold off his Republican challengers by keeping the vote margins in eastern Ohio relatively close. However, in 2016 and 2020, President Donald J. Trump’s candidacy fueled a massive shift among voters in the region toward the Republican Party. With Trump at the top of the ticket in the 2024 cycle, Brown’s challenger, Bernie Moreno, should benefit from the former Republican President’s coattails.
Moreno—a car dealer who has positioned himself as an America First populist—has narrowly trailed Brown in most polling by two to four points. …
MONTANA: JON TESTER V. TIM SHEEHY.
Another likely pick-up for Republicans is the Montana Senate race. Incumbent Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) has held the seat since the 2006 election, relying on his image as a farmer and political moderate to hold off several Republican challengers since. However, like Ohio, Montana has continued to move further to the right in recent years. With Trump at the top of the ticket, the America First leader’s coattails should be enough to drag the Republican candidate, Tim Sheehy, across the finish line. …
ARIZONA: KARI LAKE V. RUBEN GALLEGO.
The U.S. Senate race in Arizona is one of the more hard-to-read contests of the 2024 cycle. Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, a popular news anchor and close ally of Trump, is facing Representative Ruben Gallego—a progressive House Democrat …
The former Republican President’s coattails will be critical for Lake in this race. Polling aggregates have had Gallego in the lead over Lake by between six and seven points. However, with Trump leading Harris … there is an increasing chance that Lake will overperform the polls …
MICHIGAN: ELISSA SLOTKIN V. MIKE ROGERS.
One of the quieter Senate races that has moved from the backburner to the forefront of the 2024 election is in Michigan. Another open Senate seat, Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), is facing off against former Congressman Mike Rogers (R-MI).
… The RealClearPolitics (RCP) aggregate has Slotkin leading Rogers by less than two points—meaning the race is essentially a statistical tie for the moment. …
PENNSYLVANIA: BOB CASEY JR. V. DAVE MCCORMICK.
The 2024 Pennsylvania Senate race is likely to be a heartbreaker. Senator Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) is a popular incumbent who has developed … a public image as a political moderate. Casey’s Republican challenger, Dave McCormick, has run a nearly flawless campaign and produced some of the most hard-hitting attack ads of any candidate this election cycle. ….
While Sen. Casey has failed to crack 50 percent of the vote in most polling aggregates, he has consistently led McCormick by around three to four points. Despite political headwinds, there is still a chance Trump’s coattails can pull McCormick across the finish line on election night. …
WISCONSIN: TAMMY BALDWIN V. ERIC HOVDE.
Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the first openly gay member of the upper legislative chamber, is facing off against Republican challenger Eric Hovde. While this race looked as though it was a lock for Baldwin earlier in the summer, it has begun to tighten quickly as the November election looms. …
… Hovde, a successful businessman who has put an estimated $13 million of his own money into the race, appears to be benefiting from Trump’s coattails in the Badger state. …
… Several election forecasters have recently moved the race to a toss-up. …
NEVADA: JACKIE ROSEN V. SAM BROWN.
The Nevada Senate race features Senator Jackie Rosen (D-NV) facing off against wounded war hero Sam Brown. …
Despite a strong personal story, Brown has run one of the less-than-defined campaigns of the cycle … Brown has consistently trailed Rosen by between eight and ten points, according to polling aggregates. …
TEXAS: TED CRUZ V. COLIN ALLRED.
Yes, the Texas Senate race is concerningly competitive. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is facing off against Representative Colin Allred (D-TX) in what may prove to be the Republican incumbent’s strongest challenge yet. …
The dynamics of the Texas Senate race are complex, to say the least. Cruz suffers from high unfavorable ratings, and Republican infighting in the state has left the party fractured. While most election forecasters rate the seat as lean Republican for the moment, several internal polls from Republican congressional campaigns in critical districts indicate Cruz is significantly running behind Trump in the state. …
NEBRASKA: DEB FISCHER V. DAN OSBORN.
The final competitive Senate race pits incumbent Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) against an independent challenger, Dan Osborn. A left-leaning populist and union leader, Osborn has seen a meteoric rise in the polls, with several now showing him with a concerning lead over the Republican incumbent. …
Despite the recent positive polling for Osborn, most election forecasters still rate the race as lean or likely Republican. …

….and how about Republican Hung Cao who is looking to unseat two-term incumbent U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine? You know each and every one Lord, raise and remove, for Your Glory and the good of America. I pray, I pray, I pray!
Yes prayers for Hung Cao, Ted Cruz, and the other names on the list. LORD, please show up and show out on their behalf and align each candidate with Your perfect will. For those who are after Your heart, Your principles — be their provider, endorser, and carry them through even when they are seemingly overshadowed or out-funded by their opponents in the visible realm.
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” – Psalm 20:7
Psalm 140 guided me into prayer this morning, I read it and personalized it, which gave me great encouragement,,,,I share a portion and hope you will take the time to read it in its entirety. The Word of God is everything. I praise the Lord over every “race” in America, from local to Federal and as I praised God using His Names and Titles, He once again reminded me there is NO END to His Sovereignty. I believe I heard, “I AM in you what you submit to.” I submit praises, prayers, pains….my all, to the Holy One of Israel and every nation under the sun: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Do not abandon the works of Your Hands.
Deliver Me, O LORD, from Evil Men https://biblehub.com/esv/psalms/140.htm
1Deliver (us), O LORD, from evil men;
preserve (us) from violent men,
2who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually…
4Guard (us), O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve (us) from violent men,
who have planned to trip up (our) feet….
6I say to the LORD, You are (our) God;
give ear to the voice of (our) pleas for mercy, O LORD!
7O LORD, (our) Lord, the strength of (our) salvation,
you have covered (our) heads in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah
9As for the head of those who surround (us),
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let (their plans and strategies) be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
11Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
13Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence.
May Your will be done in this coming election. We pray Candidates that follow You and seek Your will may be elected. May your grace, mercy, and wisdom be upon the American people as we head to the polls and vote not our will but Your will Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
Lord, Your apostle Paul, urges us to pray for our leaders that we might live in peace. We ask now for you to guide the voters to select candidates who choose to support just and righteous laws based on biblical values. We desperately need your guidance, Lord, in all our ways and we repent for not seeking your will diligently in all that we do and say. We praise your goodness and generosity toward us always. Amen
