Republicans Eye Gains In Senate Seats
The New York Times reports Republicans aim for a Senate majority within three years, seeking to gain about ten seats in 1980 and 1982. Democrats fear losses as GOP fundraising targets rise and conservative groups plan independent campaigns. Potential 1980 targets include McGovern, Gravel, Church, Bayh, Culver, Durkin, Leahy, and Schweiker’s Oklahoma seat. Alexander Haig is named as a possible Republican entrant.
