While all three network morning shows on Monday covered the upcoming midterm election, only ABC's Good Morning America mentioned the real possibility of Republicans taking control of the Senate. Co-host George Stephanopoulos informed viewers: "And Republicans seem to be closing in on the six Senate seats they need to gain a majority....The forecaster Nate Silver, from FiveThirtyEight, puts their chances of getting the Senate at 74%."

Political analyst Matthew Dowd agreed: "Yeah, you see the wave, I think, over the last three or four days building. Every single poll that has come out over the last week has been to the Republicans' advantage. So I think you're about to see a Republican takeover of the United States Senate."
