Senate races in Virginia, West Virginia and Arizona could be key to Republicans regaining control of the Senate.
on Friday suggested that things may not look good for the Democrats' Senate chances right now, but 2024 is still some way off.
"In theory, and in normal times, the electoral map looks to doom the Democrats to losing the Senate in 2024," Robert Singh, a professor at the Department of Politics at Birkbeck, University of London, told"Not only are they more exposed, with more Democratic incumbents' seats up for election than Republicans', but some of these - Arizona, West Virginia, Virginia - are in states where Republicans are very competitive," Singh said.
"Having managed to repel a Republican charge in 2022, pulling off another such feat in two years time would be a real challenge," he said.now in session, it may be too early to write off the Democrats' chances. Lake and Justice have not formally announced Senate bids and it isn't yet clear how the race in Virginia will shape up.
"Democrats' margin of error for keeping control of the Senate is razor-thin. So of course there's concern when stalwarts like Joe Manchin or Tim Kaine face legitimate challengers or decide not to run," Thomas Gift, founding director of University College London's Centre on U.S.
Gift said that Republicans"have proven eminently capable of shooting themselves in the foot before, so writing off incumbent seats is premature even if Democrats face an increasingly tough task ahead."
