ABC News Race Ratings Show Tight Race for Control of US Senate

[AmericanMan1958]

It is still a tall hill to climb but look like we have a real chance to take back Congress. That is a large accomplishment with the gerrymander Districts. GOTV we can do this!!

ABC News gives an advantage to Democrats in seven seats currently held by Republicans and rates 15 additional races as a tossup. Even if Democrats were to sweep those races and protect the one Democratic seat that is rated as turning red, the party would still trail the GOP by 7 seats.
203 seats are rated Solid Republican vs. 178 seats that are Solid Democratic. Another 24 seats are Lean Republican, 15 seats are Lean Democratic and 15 are pure toss-ups.

4. I count us at 49 right now. Of the remaining 4 close races, 2 are truly tied and two leaning GOP.

This could really go either way. We're going to get at least 49 but that could be it. If I had to bet I would say we would have 50.

Clinton won't win because Hispanic Dems 'don’t get out and vote'
