'This will be close': Race forecaster reveals more bad news for Democrats just days from midterm elections

The Cook Political Report adjusted its ratings in the Wisconsin Senate race from a toss-up to "Lean Republican," shifting another rating towards the GOP just days before the election.

The Cook Political Report adjusted its rating for another battleground race in favor of Republicans just days before Election Day, giving the GOP an edge in the Wisconsin Senate race.

The political forecaster on Friday shifted the race between incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes from a toss-up to "Lean Republican."

"Like most elections in Wisconsin, this will be close, but voters should remember: Mandela Barnes is an extremist who wants more of the same Biden economic policies that have led to 40-year high inflation and record gas prices, and he wants to defund the police," Mike Marinella, spokesperson for the Johnson campaign, told Fox News Digital.

Barnes did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

In the Peach State, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., and Herschel Walker are in a tight matchup that is also labeled a toss-up.

Fox News' Power Rankings also consider the Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia Senate races to be toss-ups.
