Democrats are facing an unfriendly map to hold their Senate majority come November, but they are defiant that they can keep control of the chamber despite Republicans having an advantage in several key states.
Currently, Democrats hold a slim 51-seat majority in the Senate thanks to 47 Senate Democrats and four Independents who caucus with them. Senate Republicans are not far behind, holding 49 seats.
If Democrats lose any seat they currently hold without picking up any, they are expected to slip to below 50 seats and forfeit the coveted majority.

Is that important to you that the commies “keep the Senate,” Sarah?
How are they “defiant”? F them. They will either win or lose, but it’s obvious they think they own the right to be in power.
Isn’t the Joe Manchin seat virtually certain to go to the Republican? If so that right there gets us to 50-50.
Then the GOP needs just one more out of several vulnerable Democrat seats, such as Tester in Montana.
I simply don’t believe their polls in Nevada, Ohio and Arizona in particular. The Republicans are very likely to pick up Montana and Ohio IMO and West Virginia is a shoe-in.
Arizona and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Michigan are toss ups.
There’s simply no way Democrats are winning in Texas or Florida.
So at worst, I see Republicans picking up 3 seats. I’d guess they will win 1-2 more.
Prediction: The oligarchs in the Dem party will concede the presidency to Trump but will steal 2 Senate seats.
Start the printing presses and call Dominion just in case
As usual, Georgia has Fulton County which needs to have at least a hundred poll watchers in each precinct. Then another hundred at the election headquarters when they compile the numbers. If not, the cheating this November will be worse than it was in 2020.
Excusing the 2020 obvious fraud in that county gave them the green-light to do it again. They pretty much have immunity on election fraud now. And don’t get me started on Kemp and Raffensburger.
Tester has pulled a miracle twice but it appears his luck will run out in 2024.
So with Montana and West VA flipping that gives the GOP a 51-49 majority. Unfortunately Dems are comfortably ahead in most of the other swing states so that may be as good as it gets, but should be enough.
The only way Dems can retain the majority will be to flip a GOP seat which seems unlikely absent a Harris rout.
