(William Huang\/The Epoch Times)<\/figure>\n<p>On Nov. 2, for the first time in the current election cycle, poll aggregator and analytics website\u00a0FiveThirtyEight\u2019s forecasting model showed that Republicans are favored to take control of the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>While the election forecaster has long predicted that Republicans would retake the House,\u00a0as of Nov. 7, Republicans had a 54 percent chance of winning the Senate majority, compared to 46 percent for Democrats. Since July, the model had favored Democrats to win the upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>The model from RealClearPolitics projects that Republicans will control the Senate with 53 seats compared to 47 for Democrats. Currently, the Senate\u00a0is split 50\u201350 between the two parties, with Vice President Kamala Harris holding the tie-breaking vote.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are now favored by the aggregator to win seats in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of five Senate races to watch on Election Night on Nov. 8:<\/p>\n<h2>Pennsylvania<\/h2>\n<p>During a weekend rally in Pittsburgh with former President Barack Obama, Pennsylvania Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman took the stage for opening remarks when a sudden gust of wind blew down the row of American flags that were positioned behind the podium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, Dr. Oz is gonna be standing with Donald Trump on the stage, and I\u2019m going to be proud to be standing with a president that is 100 percent sedition-free,\u201d Fetterman said, referring to Obama, as well as Trump\u2019s \u201cSave America\u201d rally in Latrobe later that day.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Fetterman finished those words, a strong gust of wind toppled the flags behind him. A video of the moment elicited a response from Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe perfect metaphor for Fetterman\u2019s campaign,\u201d Trump Jr. wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman, who is Pennsylvania\u2019s lieutenant governor, and Oz, who is a Trump-endorsed surgeon turned celebrity talk show host, are vying to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).<\/p>\n<p>The candidates had drastically different paths to the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman decisively won the Democratic primary but suffered a severe stroke days before the May 13 primary election.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican primary results between Oz and David McCormick were so close that a recount was triggered and Oz eventually was declared the winner by less than 1,000 votes.<\/p>\n<p>For several months after the primary, Fetterman avoided public events and media interviews. He poked fun at Oz in multiple memes, casting his opponent as an affluent carpetbagger from New Jersey who is out of touch with Pennsylvanians.<\/p>\n<p>While Fetterman gained a double-digit lead in polls during the summer, the momentum began to shift when Republican-aligned groups poured millions of dollars into ads that focused on Fetterman\u2019s progressive stances on criminal justice.<\/p>\n<p>Oz challenged Fetterman to several debates and consistently questioned his opponent\u2019s fitness for office. Fetterman agreed to one debate on Oct. 25, during which he often struggled to speak in complete sentences, stumbled over his words, and delivered responses punctuated by prolonged pauses.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman served as mayor of Braddock, a borough about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and still lives in the community of 1,721 residents.<\/p>\n<p>In September, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board called on both candidates to release their medical records. Oz obliged, and the results indicated that he\u2019s in good health. Fetterman declined.<\/p>\n<p>In October, a Post-Gazette editorial once again urged Fetterman to follow Oz\u2019s lead. Fetterman eventually released a letter on Oct. 19 from a doctor who wrote that he \u201cis recovering well from his stroke\u201d and \u201chas no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman has yet to release his medical records.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Post-Gazette endorsed Oz in an editorial, calling him a \u201cunifier\u201d who will \u201cwork with Democrats to get things done for Pennsylvania,\u201d and stating that he shows the \u201cpotential to become an influential, thoughtful, and independent senator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oz claimed the lead over Fetterman for the first time in polling after the debate.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Oz has highlighted Fetterman\u2019s track record of voting to release convicted murderers from prison as the head of the state\u2019s Board of Pardons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn Fetterman and I differ because he\u2019s taking pretty strong stances about wanting to release people convicted of murder by a jury [and] sentenced to life in prison,\u201d Oz said. \u201cHe wants them to be released over the objections of other parole board members and the families.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Georgia<\/h2>\n<p>In a January 2021 runoff election, Rev. Raphael Warnock won an abbreviated U.S. Senate term representing Georgia that gave Democrats a nominal majority in the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s embroiled in a contentious race against Trump-endorsed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-herschel-walker\">Herschel Walker<\/a>, a first-time political candidate who gained acclaim as a football standout at the University of Georgia and then in the USFL and NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Walker is the target of attack ads reminding voters of a past that includes mental health challenges and alleged violence.<\/p>\n<p>While Warnock has spent at least $90 million, he has failed to lift his support numbers above 50 percent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4845699\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_7875-1200x900-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4845699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_7875-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4845699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_7875-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) preaches from his pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Nov. 6, 2022.

Nothing sticks to him,\u201d Marci McCarthy, chairwoman of the DeKalb County Republican Party, told The Epoch Times. \u201cGoing to a Herschel event, it\u2019s like going to a rock concert. People come from all over Georgia to get a glimpse of him or get a picture taken with him. He\u2019s a crowd-pleaser. He loves connecting with the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warnock isn\u2019t free from scandals.<\/p>\n<p>In a police video taken of Warnock\u2019s ex-wife after she made a domestic violence call in March 2020, she accuses him of running over her foot with his car. Police didn\u2019t charge Warnock after an investigation, but the video has become a mainstay of Walker\u2019s ads.<\/p>\n<p>Walker delivered a stronger-than-expected debate performance on Oct. 14 against Warnock. As pastor of Atlanta\u2019s Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. preached, Warnock is a more experienced orator.<\/p>\n<p>For months, the candidates have debated about debates, each accusing the other of avoiding a forum until Warnock finally agreed to Walker\u2019s proposal of a single debate in Warnock\u2019s hometown of Savannah.<\/p>\n<p>Walker relentlessly tied Warnock to Biden\u2019s unpopular policies amid an ailing economy throughout the debate.<\/p>\n<p>If neither candidate gets 50 percent of the vote, a runoff will occur.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy believes that Walker could surpass that number and win the race on election night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll signals are showing a shift for a strong Republican turnout,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cWe\u2019re feeling it on the ground with our canvassing. We\u2019re feeling it on the ground with our phone banking. We\u2019re feeling it with our outreach and our signs.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Arizona<\/h2>\n<p>Like Fetterman in Pennsylvania, incumbent Sen.

John McCain, Kelly is a retired astronaut and the husband of former Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords.<\/p>\n<p>Masters is a venture capitalist who is an outspoken Trump supporter, and he adamantly believes that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from the former president.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent rally with Obama, Kelly portrayed Masters as an extremist who would stand against a woman\u2019s ability to get an abortion, seek to privatize Social Security and Medicare, and democracy as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlake Masters has some beliefs that are just dangerous for Arizonans,\u201d Kelly said during the rally with Obama in Phoenix. \u201cHe is now questioning the results of an election that is still six days away. This is dangerous, folks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this fall, the Republican Party\u2019s Senate Leadership Fund pulled $18 million in advertising from the race.<\/p>\n<p>As momentum started moving toward Masters, support from Republican-aligned PACs increased.<\/p>\n<p>Through the end of October, the Trump-backed MAGA Inc. super PAC spent $2.89 million on ads in the Arizona Senate race, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact.<\/p>\n<p>MAGA Inc. released a recent spot that attacked Biden\u2019s immigration policies and accused Kelly and Democrats of downplaying conditions at the southern border.<\/p>\n<h2>Nevada<\/h2>\n<p>In the final days of a tense Senate campaign in Nevada, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) is reminding voters in a flurry of TV ads that 14 members of her rival\u2019s family have endorsed her and not him.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump-endorsed Adam Laxalt, Nevada\u2019s former attorney general and the Republican nominee, points out that his opponent is pretending to not know President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>While Nevada is led by a Democratic governor, two Democratic senators, and a Democratic-controlled legislature, Republicans think that Laxalt can help the party regain control of the Senate with a victory.<\/p>\n<p>A series of recent polls show that Cortez Masto and Laxalt are neck and neck, with results within the margin of error in each survey.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto\u2019s campaign is running full-page ads in English and Spanish in media outlets across the state that include a letter signed by Laxalt\u2019s relatives.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto replaced the late Sen. Harry Reid, who led the Democratic caucus from 2007 to 2017. In 2016, she edged Joe Heck in one of the few battleground states that Democrats held.<\/p>\n<p>With inflation high and Biden\u2019s approval ratings low, Cortez Masto has distanced herself from the president during her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Former presidents Bill Clinton and Obama have been in Nevada stumping for Cortez Masto, although Biden has been absent in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez Masto \u201cdoes not want Joe Biden to come here because she has spent the last six months pretending not to know who Joe Biden is,\u201d Laxalt told Fox News over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>During her Senate tenure, Cortez Masto has supported Biden\u2019s economic agenda and has been a rubber stamp for the president\u2019s policies, he said.<\/p>\n<p>At a campaign stop in Reno last month, Laxalt told supporters that he has no interest in working with \u201cthe radical, leftist Democratic Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has also talked about the prospect of opening investigations into Dr. Anthony Fauci and Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4692267\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Laxalt-1200x900-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4692267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Laxalt-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4692267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Laxalt-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt greets supporters at a June 10, 2022, rally in Las Vegas before winning his Republican primary to take on incumbent Sen.

Eventually, he joined the U.S. Army, where he served for 33 years, including during the war in Afghanistan. Bolduc earned two awards for valor, five Bronze Star medals, and two Purple Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Bolduc also recently received Trump\u2019s endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeneral Don Bolduc has run a great campaign to be the U.S. Senator from the beautiful State of New Hampshire,\u201d Trump wrote in an Oct. 31 post on his social media platform, Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>Bolduc\u2019s opponent, incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), won her seat in 2016 by one-tenth of a point.<\/p>\n<p>Early polling favored Hassan, who once held an 8.5-point cushion. Last month, the Mitch McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund pulled $6 million in funding out of New Hampshire and placed it in Pennsylvania to bolster Oz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Oz is surging, but Democrats are throwing a barrage of late spending into Pennsylvania to stop his momentum,\u201d Senate Leadership Fund President Steven Law said in late October. \u201cThis is a must-win race where we have to consolidate our firepower to ensure Oz gets over the top. We believe if we win Pennsylvania, we win the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not long after the SLC reallocated its money, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced it was jumping back into the New Hampshire Senate race with a new seven-figure TV ad purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Bolduc has frequently held town halls across New Hampshire and said he\u2019ll continue to do so if he\u2019s elected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have faith and hope that this country can move and go in the right direction. But it\u2019s not going to be able to do that unless you send somebody to Washington, D.C., who is in it for you that is not working for special interest lobbyists and wealthy political elite,\u201d Bolduc said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will set up 10 town halls in all 10 counties in a centralized location in each county, so people can come and talk to their senator-elect.
