Final Week Drama: A State-by-State Guide to Who Will Win the Senate

[Geee]

Townhall:

Will Mitch McConnell retain his title of Senate Majority Leader when the new Congress gavels into session in January, or will New York Democrat Chuck Schumer step into that role? The answer to that question will be determined by a small number of very close races, scattered across the country. Democrats need to net four or five seats to retake the upper chamber, depending on the presidential race's outcome. Let's examine those Senate contests playing out in battleground states (broadly defined), starting with the least competitive races:

 

Arizona: John McCain looks to be a lock for re-election, despite Hillary Clinton's strong play for the state. His Democratic challenger's strong embrace of Obamacare is...not going well. Solid GOP hold.

 

Iowa, Georgia, Alaska: GOP incumbents in these bona fide/borderline/potential presidential toss-ups are expected to cruise to re-election, based on public polling. Solid GOP holds.
