Democrats fresh off a triumph in the 2022 fight for the Senate now face an even more difficult battle: retaining their majority in the next election as they defend nearly two dozen seats.
Of the 33 Senate seats contested in 2024, 23 are held by Democrats, including a number in states that former President Trump won or nearly won. Republicans have their sights on taking down the likes of Sens.

I think the current state of our government is a one party system pretending to be two opposing parties.
They forgot that failed leadership is the biggest problem. Next in line would be republicans who are really RINOS and better labeled assistant democrats.
Oh, easily. They prove that every d@mn day!
Indeed the good old boy club members had a meeting before the elections.
It’s what makes rigging so easy to do.
Always let’s make a deal meeting in D.C. and Monte Hall isn’t around.
It is only their incompetence, awful leadership, and lack of spine which is keeping them in the minority - well, that and massive election fraud which they don't want to address, too!
It won’t matter if voting rules don’t change and Pubbies have zero ground game...again.
