Senate Democrats' Strategy Relies on GOP Primary Implosions

Democrats are hoping that ultra-conservative or Trump-aligned candidates will win GOP primaries in red- and purple-state races, making it easier for them to keep the Senate majority in the 2022 elections. Republicans are trying to avoid a repeat of 2022, when Trump's endorsement power picked many of their nominees. Democrats are counting on GOP infighting to split state parties, sap resources, and produce unelectable Republican nominees. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has not endorsed in primaries and has mostly focused on reelecting incumbents.
