Five of the 8 Republican seats are in very red states . Texas is an incumbent and a fairly red state . That leaves Nevada and Arizona as the only real potential pick ups for Democrats . So really the best possible solution , assuming every current Democratic seat is replaced with a Democrat still leaves 52 Republicans in the Senate . And it ' s extremely unlikely that all 23 Democratic seats are retained . You ' re counting on Montana and North Dakota to elect Democratic senators again edit in order to retain their current seats . Tester is one of the least popular Senators and the protests over the pipeline are going to make it very hard for Heitkamp to get reelected in North Dakota . <| sep |># Le rsultat est publi
