2020 Senate race

  There are 9 Republican-held seats rated as either leaning Democratic (AZ, CO) or toss-ups (2 in GA; IA, ME, MT, NC, SC) by  nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which by contrast lists only one Democratic seat (MI) as leaning D now and another Democratic seat (AL) as lean R and none as a toss-up--in terms of US Senate, where Republicans presently have 53 out of the 100.   https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/10/12/election-2020-tossup-senate-races-have-democrats-eyeing-winning-chamber/5969753002/

  )Additionally, TX, KS and AK could get close, as Cook Pol. Report recently gave them as lean R.)

The timid assume that darkness will fall upon them; thus think timorously, and the light trembles in its hands, and because of this tremor of fear the shadows come to life and play antics.  In everything fear is a poor counselor.  -M:  Brotherhood 1937
