NEW: OR-05 Race Rating Moves to Leans Republican

November 1, 2022

Cook Political Report just shifted OR-05 from a Toss-up to Lean Republican.

They write: “Had Blue Dog Rep. Kurt Schrader survived his primary, Democrats might have a better chance to hold this Biden +9 seat.”

This comes after Sabato’s Crystal Ball also moved the race from Toss-up to Leans Republican.
