Looking ahead to 2028 Senate Races, there is a likely opportunity, based on trends in the 2026 Midterm Elections, that Democrats could gain up to four seats in the US Senate, out of 19 Republican seats facing election in 2028, while likely NOT losing any of 17 Democratic seats facing election in 2028.
Those four seats are:
Ashley Moody, Florida
Chuck Grassley, Iowa
Ted Budd, North Carolina
Ron Johnson, Wisconsin
If Democrats triumph in the two Senate elections still not decided, in Mississippi with Scott Colom, and in Alaska with Mary Peltola, with both candidates ahead of their Republican rivals at this point, the Democrats will have 56, rather than 54 members.
And if that occurs, and the Democrats are able to triumph in the four Senate races mentioned above in 2028, they will have 60 Senators, and will have the ability to overcome the filibuster, which requires 60 votes, and effectively, the Republicans will be unable to prevent any legislation.
