Part 10/13:
The South features several secure Republican seats, including West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Notably, Kentucky’s race is somewhat tighter, with Democrat Charles Booker close behind Republican Andy Barr, but the overall outlook favors GOP retention.
Mississippi’s incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith leads Democrat Scott Colom by less than 9%, but her unpopularity and the narrow margin keep this race in likely Republican territory.
In Louisiana, the GOP remains strongly favored, maintaining its safe seat.
