Cook Political Report Moves Three Key Senate Races Towards Republicans
The senate seats are in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada.
The Cook Political Report is shifting three hotly contested 2022 Senate races toward the GOP and into the toss-up column, a move that suggests a more favorable environment for Republicans.
