This November, it's not just the presidency that's up for grabs.

A handful of races could determine control of the U.S. Senate.

Democrats currently hold a razor-thin majority, but are facing tough challenges in some key states this election cycle.

Lisa Desjardan is here now with a look at that Senate landscape.

Good to see you.

So let's take a look at the big picture here.

Democrats control the Senate.

What do Republicans need to do to win control?

Not a lot actually. Let's look at a mental map first of all just to set where we are.

Right now, the U.S. Senate, 51 Democrats and

independent who vote with them to organize and 49 Republicans close margin.

If the Republicans met one seat as their gain,

the Senate would become a 50-50 place

and whoever controls the White House, whoever wins that race

would control the Senate. If the Republicans gain two seats net it would flip from

what it is now to 51 Republicans a margin of two.

Now, we have to talk not just about the plus two.

That's what they want.

That's their goal, but how Republicans could get it.

So now let's look at an actual map of where we are.

On the ballot this election, 34 Senate seats. There they are all

across the country. If you're in one of those states, you're probably getting more male than everyone else.
