Handicapper Shifts Three Senate Races Towards Dems

The Hill reports:

The Cook Political Report on Tuesday shifted Senate races in Georgia, Texas and Alaska, all with Republican incumbents, toward Democrats.

Cook changed its rating for Alaska’s Senate race from “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican. In Texas, Cook also shifted the race from “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican.”

Cook also shifted Georgia’s special Senate election from “Lean Republican” to “toss-up.” Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) is defending her seat in a race that includes Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Matt Lieberman.
