Election Tightness and Key Senate Races
Several Senate races are currently very close, with Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin showcasing tight margins. In Michigan, Alyssa Slotkin holds a slim lead over Mike Rogers, primarily thanks to strong support from Wayne County. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, the very tight race between David McCormick and Bob Casey is heavily influenced by outstanding votes in Republican-leaning areas. Wisconsin also appears close, but early reports suggest that Tammy Baldwin may maintain her seat despite strong competition.
