Three quick facts about three GOP-held U.S. Senate seats Democrats need to flip to restore our majority in 2026 |
— North Carolina — After GOP incumbent Thom Tillis announced his intent to retire in 2026, Cook Political Report UPGRADED North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race from “Lean Republican” to “TOSS UP!” |
— Texas — Republican infighting in Texas has left its reliably GOP-held Senate seat uniquely vulnerable, resulting in an UPGRADE from “Solid Republican” to “Likely Republican” by Cook Political Report. |
— Ohio — With news of former U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown officially confirming that he will run in Ohio, the Center for Politics UPGRADED Ohio’s Senate race from “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican.” |
While these shifts might seem small right now, they indicate that Democrats are gaining ground to take back our Senate majority in 2026 — even more than a year out from the election! |
