On the eve of the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party is just 4 seats short of securing the majority.

According to CNN, on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party is close to regaining a Senate majority, but multiple key seats remain deadlocked, and deep-red states could still swing either way. CNN has expanded its list of "most likely to flip" seats to 11, adding South Carolina, while battleground states like Texas and Kansas—once considered longshots earlier this year—have moved up in rankings. The Democrats need to flip four incumbent Republican seats and hold all their own seats to secure a Senate majority. The report notes that CNN’s poll aggregation shows Trump’s approval rating at around 34%, with issues including the economy, the Iran war, and corruption driving Democratic voter mobilization. In the final month, Republicans spent roughly $560 million on ads in these 11 races, while Democrats spent about $521 million; excluding Georgia and North Carolina, the GOP’s ad spending advantage grows larger. The top of the list includes: in North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper leads Republican Michael Whatley by roughly 14 points in the final High Point/YouGov poll, marking it as the most likely flip seat; former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown holds an average lead of about 5 points; in Texas, James Talarico is running against Ken Paxton—CNN’s aggregate shows no clear leader, but recent New York Times/Siena and CNN polls put Talarico ahead, with Elon Musk-related spending accounting for over $168 million of the GOP’s ad budget in the state. The remaining seats on the list are Maine, Alaska, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Georgia, among others.
