In the final days leading up to Election Day, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted its Senate forecast toward the GOP. Jessica Taylor, the Senate and governors editor, noted that the reason for the forecast change comes because the national environment recently has been seen as more favorable toward Republicans and that issues like the economy and inflation are resonating more with voters now than abortion.
