State of the Race

33 regularly scheduled Senate races will be occurring this November, along with two special elections in California and Nebraska (in California, the special election is for the same seat as the regular one, so we won’t be including it in our model). This map is a tough one for Democrats, and it doesn’t help that Senator Manchin’s retirement in West Virginia is likely to become an autoflip for the Republicans. However, poor Republican candidates in certain Senate races have given some hope to the Democrats.
