GOP heavy hitters campaign with Josh Hawley in Chesterfield

Source: KPLR

CHESTERFIELD, MO - Nationally known Republicans were in the St. Louis area Monday campaigning for Attorney General Josh Hawley. Hawley is running to unseat incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill.

At Josh Hawley’s campaign office in Ballwin, MO, the whiteboard reads “Countdown to Victory” and the get out the vote effort is very positive.

Recent polls show the Hawley-McCaskill race very close with Hawley moving ahead by about four points in the most recent Remington Research poll. Knowing its tight race, Hawley invited two heavy hitters in the national GOP spotlight to campaign for him. South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham and Colorado Senator Cory Gardner came spoke at a rally in Chesterfield. Their visit indicates how important Missouri is to the National Republican Party efforts to keep the Senate with a GOP majority. They believe their red wave will defeat the blue wave.

Remington is usually about 4.9 points off. The race is about tied according to 538 and that is, fwiw, my sense of things as well. Sinclair may need to divest KPLR to do the other deal with Meridith?.

It is anyone's race as of tonight. It all depends on who can GOTV.

the recent Remington Research polls seem be oversampling geezers but they are the only outlet that seems by polling that race in the past few weeks, I suspect it's still a dead heat, three things will probably determine the race besides GOTV

How the suburbs of KC and STL swing
How much McCaskill can get her base out in urban KC and STL
How much McCaskill can minimize her losses in rural MO, it doesn't look the minitRump Hawley will be over performing in KC and STL
