Democrats see Senate control within reach - but some big hurdles remain
The Washington Post • • general
Key Points:
- Democrats are growing more optimistic about retaking the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections, a goal that seemed unlikely at the start of President Trump's second term.
- To regain control, Democrats must win Senate races in at least five states that Trump carried in 2024, presenting a challenging political landscape.
- Declining approval ratings for Trump and economic concerns related to the Iran war have bolstered Democratic hopes less than six months before Election Day.
- Despite this renewed optimism, significant obstacles persist for Democrats in their bid to recapture the Senate.
