What We're Thinking: A Democratic Senate Takeover? Maybe, Maybe Not

Less than a month from Election Day, Tom and Aaron break down the Democrats’ chances of retaking control of the U.S. Senate. Polls show Democrats with slight leads in many states, and the enthusiasm gap significantly favors Democrats this year – but most of those races are in heavily red states (Alaska, Texas, Ohio, etc.) and most of the remaining undecideds were Trump voters in 2024 (though they’ve largely soured on him since).
