Elections for 35 U.S. Senate seats will take place in 2020.[1] Ballotpedia has identified 16 races as general election battlegrounds. Of the 16 seats, four have Democratic incumbents and 12 have Republican incumbents heading into the election.
These battleground seats were selected by examining the results of the 2016 presidential election in the state, whether the incumbent was seeking re-election, and whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in the Senate. Race ratings from the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales were also considered. For more information on our methodology, click here.
As of October 2020, the Republican Party has a 53-seat Senate majority, while Democrats have 45 seats. There are also two independents who caucus with the Democratic Party. The following are some factors that could influence the outcome of the 2020 Senate elections:

Please consider helping the Republican in each matchup, unless the prior vote was strongly Republican already (one can assume such candidates will win again unless mass relocation of voters has occurred.)
Cal “Lt Colonel Sexting” Cunningham is having issues...
Alabama will go back to the Republican.
The GOP could well lose Arizona, Colorado, Maine, Iowa, and North Carolina.
The GOP may well pick up Michigan. John James campaign seems to be gaining momentum.
Some of what happens will come back to how Trump does. If Trump wins a solid victory, his coattails may well save some vulnerable GOP senators. If Trump goes down to defeat, then it’s doubtful the GOP retains many of the vulnerable seats.
Holding the Senate is critical whether Trump wins or loses.
Collins has been a good soldier-Maine is deep blue. McSally needs the mormon vote and i don’t trust them. Az. has always been weird. it gave us McFlake.
Cal Cunnilingus.
In a state as hard core GOP as South Carolina, I’m a bit surprised that Lindsey Graham is struggling to win that.
I get it that there’s a lot of outstate money being poured in on behalf of the Dem but you’d still think Graham had an advantage on the basis of the R behind his name.
Lose Maine, AZ, Colorado. Win MI, AL. Hold everywhere else. We lose one seat, retain control.
They’re counting on a change in demographics which I read is happening in SC and a big black turnout. They ran an articulate young black man. Hoping for the O’Bama effect. Polls would tell you it’s working.
I’m in NC and I think Cal lost himself the election to the lightweight Tillis. We’ll lose Arizona, Maine, and Colorado but pick up Minnesota and Michigan (if Trump pulls it out)

Since there’s fewer Masshole college kids this year, could there be a chance of picking up the New Hampshire Senate Seat?
He’s got this licked...
I would not count Susan Collins out.
POTUS could have long coattails.
Latest polling shows McSally leading in AZ.
Except colleges are open up here in NH.
“Except colleges are open up here in NH.”
Sorta-kinda. Mine is still online. Very limited campus access this semester, maybe normalish next semester.
I think members of the military industrial complex make big money from wars. President Trump wants to end wars and bring our men and women home.
Pro war Democrat Jim Clyburn backs Jaime Harrison, a lobbiest who works for whoever will pay him the big bucks.
