Senate Democrats must defend 25 seats compared to just eight held by Republicans.
Of those 25 senators, 13 are from states Trump captured or narrowly lost.

Five Democrats are from states Trump easily carried, by 19 percentage points or more — Indiana, North Dakota, West Virginia, Missouri and Montana.
