GOP faces uphill drive to win Senate control in 1952
Senator Dirksen will lead the Taft campaign in Illinois and direct the GOP effort to gain Senate control in 1952. With 19 Republican seats and 14 Democratic seats up, eight Democratic targets remain, including Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, New Mexico, Arizona, and Wyoming, where incumbents and regional histories complicate gains. Analysts say a GOP landslide may be required to flip enough seats to reach a workable majority.
