Republicans are already favored to keep the Senate in the 2026 midterms, but that is not stopping Democrats from trying to gain control of the chamber. Dems would love nothing more than to control both chambers so they can do all of the crazy things they’ve been promising to their base.
There are some candidates on the left who are so far out, people like James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, who Democrats and the media are pushing hard, but who are so polarizing that their chances aren’t great.
The race that is really worrying Democrats is New Hampshire.
Republican John Sununu is running against Democrat Chris Pappas and Sununu has some big advantages. He has already been a U.S. Senator for New Hampshire and his last name has massive recognition in the state – his father was governor.
This race would actually be a pick-up for Republicans.
