Four Races Could Tilt the Senate in 2026
TL;DR Summary
Democrats must flip four Senate seats to win a majority in 2026, needing to hold Georgia and Michigan and pick up Maine and North Carolina, while Republicans seek to capitalize on a favorable map and turnout. Beyond the four marquee races, Alaska, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, New Hampshire and Minnesota offer openings, with several high‑profile primaries in Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts shaping the broader contest; the environment—economic concerns, voter enthusiasm, immigration politics and the post‑Trump political dynamic—will influence turnout as primaries kick off in Texas and North Carolina.
