Democrats Chart Long-Shot Path to Retake Senate

“Democrats are voicing growing confidence about their long-shot push to reclaim control of the Senate, identifying a narrow path to the majority in November’s midterm elections that is still strewn with obstacles,” the Washington Post reports.

“Breaking Republicans’ 53-47 grip on the chamber was once seen as an almost impossible goal for the party, with nearly two-thirds of the seats on the ballot coming in states that President Donald Trump won in 2024. While it remains a steep climb, a string of recruiting wins, persistent voter concerns about the cost of living and a backlash to much of the Trump administration’s agenda have moved Democrats closer to what would be a seismic upset.”
