Democratic control of the Senate in peril amid gubernatorial shifts
A writer notes the Senate currently sits 49 Democrats to 47 Republicans with several long serving Democrats aged 80s and 90s. A death or retirement of a Democratic senator could shift control if a Republican succeeds, potentially giving Republicans a 49 48 edge or Democrats a 50 46 cushion depending on gubernatorial appointments.
