Leaves us 7 tossup races
Ohio - Brown v. Vance
Georgia - Warnock v. Walker
Nevada - Cortez Masto v Laxalt
New Hampshire - Hassan v Morse (likely)
Pennsylvania - Fetterman v Oz
Wisconsin - Mandela Barnes (likely) v Johnson
North Carolina - Beasley v Budd
GOP needs 5 of 7 to take Senate. I'm being conservative leaving Hassan and Fetterman in tossup category...they could easily go lean D. It could go anywhere from 53-47 R to 54-46 D. Very much of a tossup, and hardly a foregone conclusion that the Senate will go red.
The House looks bleak. Looks like about 230-205 R, but the Roe decision may help Dems somewhat get out the vote.
