2024 battle for Senate majority: These five seats held by Democrats are most likely to flip​

Republicans need a net gain of 1 or 2 seats to win back the Senate majority in next year’s elections​

The consensus was that Manchin was the only Democrat who could win in West Virginia next year after his state shifted dramatically to the right over the past decade. Former President Donald Trump carried West Virginia by nearly 40 points in the 2020 election.

Democrats control the U.S. Senate with a 51-49 majority, but Republicans are looking at a favorable Senate map in 2024, with Democrats defending 23 of the 34 seats up for grabs. Three of those seats are in red states that Trump carried in 2020 — West Virginia, Montana and Ohio.

Five other blue-held seats are in key swing states narrowly carried by President Biden in 2020 — Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

And we're likely to lose the House because, with a narrow majority, the seats most likely to flip are currently held by R's.

Yeah, but there have been ten announced retirements in the House in the last week or so some are said to be Democrats.

I assume they're all in play. I expect upheavals and turbulence next year.

Nothing but. I can assure you the Democrats will be pulling out all of the stops to keep their power.

I haven't looked at the states in question but its likely that some seats will flip because:

1. The people of the party not in power are more likely to come up to vote than those not in power if there is a likelihood they can regain their political advantage.

2. Those not in power do not have to defend whatever mistakes they have made. They have a clean slate and can promise the moon the sun and the stars.

1. That's a fairly common situation for midterm elections, but not for years when there's also a presidential election. In presidential years, typically most of the close Senate races end up going one way or the other.

2. This time around, the party out of power does NOT have a clean slate, it's got a nominee whom everyone knows and has an opinion of.

It depends on how tightly those running in those states tow the party line.. As I said I am speaking in generalities because I haven't looked at the races in question at all I have enough trouble following all the foolishness and shenanigans' going on in my own state..

I live in the deep red state but there are three districts which are usually democrat and half the time the state votes in a democrat for governor.. I myself don't vote party lines.. I try to figure the stances of the candidates not what they say they stand for, but their actual stances.. Search out newspaper articles going back to their school days, their voting record, articles about their family trying to get some type of feel for what this person actually holds dear, not just what they say in a speech.. And vote accordingly.. Which causes me to vote republican sometime and vote democrat at other times.

Ohio may revisit the abortion issue though indirectly given recent outcomes in Warren. People may favor a candidate that promises to amend Ohio's abortion law.. Or may those who fought to get Ohio's abortion, marijuana, and school funding laws passed in 2023 will be a shoe in in 2024..
