As the primary election season winds down, the fight over which party will control the U.S. Senate remains very much up in the air.
For Democrats to seize the majority, they would need to win four seats currently in Republican hands — a significant challenge that requires both strong candidates and favorable political conditions.
Republicans, on the other hand, find themselves in a largely defensive posture. Rather than aggressively pursuing new pickup opportunities, the GOP is focused on protecting the seats it already holds.
The competitive Senate map continues to shift as the remaining primaries approach, with both parties watching closely to see how the final matchups take shape heading into the general election.
