Draggingtree Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 McClatchy D.C.: OCTOBER 23, 2015 Landscape shifts: Democrats could take control of Senate GOP defending 24 seats, Democrats 10 Seven GOP-held seats up in states Obama won in 2012 Nevada only Democratic seat seen in play for Republicans BY DAVID LIGHTMAN dlightman@mcclatchydc.com WASHINGTON There’s another pivotal election next year besides the White House. The Senate is up for grabs, and the landscape a year out suggests the Democrats could win control away from the Republicans. The party needs a net gain of four seats to gain control if a Democrat wins the White House, five if a Republican wins. That’s better odds than gaining a majority in the House of Representatives, which is expected to remain under Republican control, and winning the presidency, which right now is impossible to predict.
