Democrats' Chances Of Winning The Senate Are Looking Stronger (FiveThirtyEight)

Democrats' Chances Of Winning The Senate Are Looking Stronger
By Perry Bacon Jr. and Dhrumil Mehta APR. 13, 2018 AT 5:38 AM

For some time, the conventional wisdom (and I largely agree with it) around the upcoming midterms has been that Democrats are modest favorites to win the House, while Republicans are likely to hold the Senate. Democrats, who have 49 Senate seats at the moment,1 might win GOP-held seats in Arizona and Nevada, but it seems likely they’ll lose at least one of the 10 seats they hold in states that President Trump carried in 2016.

But the 2018 Senate map is shifting — mostly in ways that make it more likely that Democrats could flip that chamber too. If you’ve only been paying attention to the House, it’s time to check back in on the upper chamber.

As more is exposed , and trump keeps tweeting , and talking. The American people are also rejecting the inaction of the GOP in Congress doing nothing to stop trump, and all the corruption, and conspiring with Putin going on in this country from them. Both houses will be turned over to the Democrats from all the corruption, and conspiring is exposed against them all. Its their worse nightmare with trump dragging them all down now, and it's going to get a lot worse for them.
