PENNSYLVANIA. Bob Casey Jr. (D) elected 2006 (59%), 2012 (54%). May 15 primary. Rep. Lou Barletta ($1.6 million) is expected to defeat state Rep. Jim Christiana for the GOP nomination, but he faces a decidedly uphill race against Casey ($10 million) in the general election. Even though Trump squeaked out…

Arizona’s 8th District Special (a): Welcome to the big leagues, Democrat Hiral Tipirneni, who we’re learning hasn’t treated patients since 2011 and settled a malpractice lawsuit.
Arizona’s 8th District Special (b): Nathan told The Arizona Republic that “under normal conditions you…
Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s plans have been talked about for so long that it would have been shocking if he hadn’t announced his challenge to Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson today. Now that the Republican governor is officially in, the Sunshine State is poised to host an expensive race with…

Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith’s appointment in Mississippi will bring the number of women in the U.S. Senate to 23, the largest in U.S. history. While there’s room for that number to grow in the November midterm elections, with a handful of women in both parties running in competitive seats, it’s also…
