Failure to Win Senate Would Cripple GOP
Washington report argues that a Republican failure to gain a Senate majority in today’s election would severely hinder chances for the next four years. Only 12 Democratic seats will be contested in 1952, with many in the solid South or border states, while 20 Republican seats are up for re election. The balance favors Democrats in the current race, with 23 Democratic seats and 13 Republican seats being contested.
