🗳️Democrats Need Four Seats to Take Senate Majority

Democrats eyeing four key races to flip Senate

Democrats need to flip four Republican-held seats to take control of the Senate. Key races in Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas are now toss-ups or leaning Democratic. Trump's approval rating is consistently below 40%, and Democrats have strong candidates who have previously won statewide elections. In Alaska, the Democratic candidate is leading the Republican incumbent by over 5 percentage points, and a retired teacher's candidacy could split the GOP vote. The Cook Political Report has moved the Alaska Senate race from 'lean Republican' to 'toss-up'. In North Carolina, the Democratic candidate is consistently leading the Republican opponent by double digits. In Ohio, the Democratic candidate has pulled ahead in August polling. In Texas, the Democratic candidate is a charismatic politician and prolific fundraiser, and polls show a tight race. Democrats need just one more pickup to take the majority in the Senate.
