New Mexico Senate race moves toward Democrats
Momentum in Senate the race in New Mexico between Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and former Republican congresswoman Heather Wilson has swung to and fro, but lately, there are have been some emerging signs that Heinrich has the upper hand.
After a review of the most important factors in the race, The Fix has moved the New Mexico Senate race out of the tossup category and into the collection of races that leans toward the Democrats. …
The momentum has swung away from Wilson, but the race is not completely beyond her grasp. Earlier in the race, she showed positive signs that caught the attention of national Republicans. She outraised Heinrich during the first two quarters of the year, and didn’t have any trouble advancing from what was once viewed as a potentially tough primary. For a Republican, her moderate profile is a good fit for the Democratic-leaning state.
For now though, Heinrich has shown an ability to withstand Republican attacks and scare away some national Republican money. That’s good news for Democrats who are trying to maintain their Senate majority in November.
