Larry Sabato Now Predicts A GOP Senate: "Bet On A Republican Majority"

Video at the page link:

JOHN SCOTT, FNC: Larry Sabato is director of the University of Virginia center for politics, spends a lot of time looking into his crystal ball, which has been a bit cloudy of late, any more clarity today, Larry?

LARRY SABATO: Well, today we said go ahead and bet on a GOP majority. You know, Jon, we're very cautious at the crystal ball and we're never 100% sure of anything. I’m not sure that the sun rose this morning. I haven't seen it yet but I assume it did. And given the fact that Republicans have so many more ways to accumulate 51 seats for the Senate, and they seem to be doing so well in many of these swing competitive purple states. We believe there is two in three chance that the Republicans will have that 51+ seat majority.

Sabato moved 3 races from “toss-up” and/or a runoff to “Leans Republican.”
Georgia and Louisiana both used to be classified as leaning toward a runoff, but now Sabato says they are tilting in the Republican’s favor. Sabato’s rationale:
We’ve been calling Georgia and Louisiana “Toss-up/Leans Runoff” in recent weeks because we expected both to eventually go to runoffs. Louisiana will, and Georgia might, but we now believe Republicans are favored to eventually win both. So we’re just going to call both LEANS REPUBLICAN going into Election Day: If both do in fact go to runoffs, then the Leans GOP ratings will apply, at least initially, to the overtime contests.
