Hosts say Iran confrontation could reshape Senate map; GOP plans $340 million push
After discussing the Iran situation, the program turned to U.S. Senate races and possible electoral fallout. Jeff Berkowitz and Terry Martin listed at least eight Senate seats—Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas, Alaska, Montana and Ohio—and discussed which were likely to remain Republican or be competitive.

Jeff Berkowitz said the Republican Party "has plans to put $340,000,000 into these 8 states" to defend or win seats. The hosts debated which races might flip or remain competitive and noted the uncertainty of projecting outcomes given current global events and oil-price effects on voters.
