Sessions lost his primary to Trump's pick, former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville. Tuberville is up against a vulnerable Doug Collins, who he is polling ahead of. Jones picked up Session's former seat in a surprise win over Roy Moore.

Jaime Harrison in SC is out fundraising Lindsey Graham. The last poll, from late May, has the two tied.

Amy McGrath, who won her primary in Kentucky 2 weeks ago, has also been a strong fundraiser, bringing in over $17m. While most Democrats have done better in the polls recently, McGrath, who was virtually tied with McConnell in two polls, recently saw double digit deficits in two mid June polls.

In Arizona, former Astronaut and husband to Gabby Gifford, Mark Kelly has a 6-8 point lead over Martha McSally, who was appointed to the Senate after losing the last Arizona senate election.


In Georgia, appointed Senator Kelly Loeffler is trailing Republican Congressman Doug Collins, though if current numbers hold up, she'll make it to the run off. That could change if the Democrats consolidate to one candidate, though.

But Lindsey Graham is an institution around here. Even though he sucks and most Republicans complain about him he still crushed his primary :/

This is the one I'm paying attention to. Warner isn't under much of a threat and when it comes down to it, McConnell has enabled Trump. There needs to be a lot of focus put into this race from the Democrats.

She's been sending ads out on Facebook to anyone who leans left, regardless of the state, for months now. I wonder if the recent dip is from the late support that Booker was getting.
