    Requires the dems winning nearly every race because the maximum they could get up to is 69 right now. If they win every single seat up for re-election.

    The dems do have an advantage though. There are more republican seats up for re-election than democrat ones.

      Not nearly every race, there are 22 R seats up for grabs and Dems currently have 45. They need every single seat. Some of those republican seats won by more than 20pts last election, also it’s not a guarantee that all dems vote for it.
