About this video
Don’t look now, but Democrats could actually take the Senate in the midterms.
For the first time, prediction markets now favor Democrats to win the Senate majority in November, a potentially seismic event in American politics. The party’s rising odds come as President Donald Trump’s approval rating drops to the lowest levels of his second term so far, with the Iran war becoming increasingly unpopular and gas prices continuing to rise. In this video, we first rank Democrats’ best pickup opportunities and examine the new path that has opened up for the party in recent months. Finally, we review the three key questions that could decide the majority come November.
