The political heat is reaching fever pitch as we rapidly approach the upcoming presidential election on November 3rd. The question dominating most political discussions is whether former Vice President Joe Biden will unseat incumbent President Donald Trump. However, while the battle for the White House is undoubtedly crucial, the consequences of this election reach far beyond 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In addition to deciding which man will lead the country, voters will be determining whether or not Republicans will maintain their slim majority in The United States Senate.
Currently, the Senate has 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats (including two independent Senators in Maine’s Sen. Angus King of Maine and Vermont’s Sen. Bernie Sanders). There are 35 seats “up for grabs” in November, including special elections in Arizona and Georgia. Republicans currently hold 23 of these seats. The Democrats only need to gain a handful of seats to wrestle back control of the Senate.
