New analysis moves three Senate races in favor of Democrats as possible path to majority

The University of Virginia’s Sabato’s Crystal Ball updated its Senate race forecasts, shifting three contests toward Democrats. This change provides a clearer path for Democrats to secure a majority in the midterm elections. Specifically, the ratings for Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska and Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio moved from leans Republican to toss-up. North Carolina also saw a shift toward the left, tightening the overall Senate map according to the latest analysis from the forecaster.
