With a little over a month to go and the 49 to 51 split (yes I included the 2 independents w/ the dems) in the senate. How many of the republican battle ground states do the democrats pick up? And how many democratic held battle ground states do they lose?
I think they can pick up Arizona. Then lose North Dakota and Minnesota. Making for a 48 - 52 split.
Interesting facts:
The dems have 25 up for re-election, the reps 8.
The dems must carry 10 states that Trump won in 2016.
There are 13 states with democratic incumbents that have a republican governor but no states with a republican incumbent has a democratic governor.
