Sabato Shifts NC Senate Rating to Tossup, AL Senate to Lean R

Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball has mixed news for both parties as ratings were changed in the Senate races for North Carolina and Alabama.
Citing “nationalization” Sabato shifted Doug Jones’ re-election in Alabama from tossup to lean Republican. But the re-election race of Thom Tillis in North Carolina was shifted from leans Republican to tossup.
Sabato also discusses how filing deadlines in various states could impact the impeachment vote since any Republican who votes against Trump is sure to get a primary opponent. The later the vote on conviction in the Senate means more Republicans that won’t have to worry about an opponent on the primary ballot.
