17. Senators from New England states

In the northeast it is only Maine that has a Republican senator
Maine has no Democratic U.S. Senators presently serving.
There are two independent U.S. Senators: Sanders and King

Interesting bit of trivia:
There are only 8 states that have 1 senator from each major party:
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, Montana, Wisconsin, Colorado and Arizona
Of those, two will almost definitely become 1 party sates: Colorado and Alabama
Arizona and Montana are good chances
Be nice if we could pick up West Virginia. Unfortunately, as popular as Joe Manchin is in the state, he seems to have no coattails. I know 3 people from West Virginia (1 Democrat and 2 Republican) and and all three have said they voted for Manchin every time. Would love to see Capito sent packing.
