After the two special elections in Georgia last fall, Democrats gained control of the United States Senate. As President Joe Biden pushes through his agenda with full control of Congress, Republicans are hugely motivated to retake the U.S. Senate in order to slow Biden’s progress.
The 2022 election landscape, at a quick glance, appears to be favorable to Democrats, especially as five Republican senators — Rob Portman (OH), Richard Shelby (AL), Roy Blunt (MO), Pat Toomey (PA), and Richard Burr (NC) — announced that they will be retiring. Political pundits and the media are focused on those five seats, especially those in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, but there are also numerous Democrats up for re-election in 2022 who look vulnerable.
