GOP Fortunes Rise as 1986 Senate Battles Loom
AP analysis notes Democrats Ferrare and Dorgan and Republican Thornburgh skipping races bolster GOP chances to hold the Senate. Hart’s impending bid and Janklow’s possible challenge against Abdner could split GOP lines, with Daschle poised to benefit if Janklow runs. Thornburgh avoids a brutal primary, aiding party strategy amid 22 Republican and 12 Democratic seats up.
