you're a week out from the midterm elections. And something that looked almost impossible a year ago. There is a path for Democrats to win not just the House but the Senate.
So a Senate majority for Democrats to sort of recap this. They need to defend the competitive Senate seats that they currently hold. And then they need to flip. At least four seats in states currently held by Republicans. A couple of those states had always looked possible, Maine, North Carolina.
But then came the hard ones, states where Trump had won by double digits. People weren't really talking about Kansas, but Now Kansas. And the remarkable thing about this cycle as the Democrats are polling competitively in all of them.
