Democrats need to net only 4 seats to get to a 51-49 majority in the Senate, and the list of seats that Republicans need to defend is growing.
as Georgia’s Johnny Isakson announced he was resigning at the end of the year. That put another Republican-held seat on the battleground list — the second one in Georgia — and added more evidence that control for the upper chamber of Congress is very much in play.

In Texas, Sen. John Cornyn is up for re-election in a state where the registered voter demographics are changing and where GOP Sen. Ted Cruz had to fight hard to eke out a win over then-Rep. Beto O’Rourke. But O’Rourke isn’t running for the Senate this time and Cornyn won his seat by 27 points in 2014.
