Yes, Sen. McConnell had the correct intuition to worry about the 2022 slate of Republican Senate candidates. In comparison to Arizona’s 2022 gubernatorial race, when Republican nominee Kari Lake lost by less than one percent to Democrat Katie Hobbs, Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters was decisively beaten, losing by 4.88% to Sen. Mark Kelly. In Nevada, even though Republican Steve Sisolak won the state’s gubernatorial race, Republican Adam Laxalt lost Nevada’s Senate race to Catherine Cortez-Masto. In Georgia, Republican Herschel Walker lost his state’s Senate race to Raphael Warnock by 2.8%, a decisive win compared to Trump’s loss to Biden by .23% in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election. In Pennsylvania, although Biden only won the state by 1.17% during the 2020 presidential election, Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz lost by 4.91% in the 2022 Senate race to Sen. John Fetterman.
