Axios, the junior varsity league version of Politico, has a triumphant article gushing about how the Democrats may finally demolish the GOP’s U.S. Senate winning streaks in Kansas, Maine, South Carolina, and Texas:
Democrats are running surprisingly competitive races in traditionally Republican territory across the country this midterm election cycle, and it’s putting GOP winning streaks at risk that stretch as far back as the 1930s.
These streaks are indeed long. Kansas has had almost 100 years of Republican Senators, and the other three – with the Maine caveat – are each over a quarter of a century.
