Forget next year: If Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wants a shot to win back the majority in 2026, he'll need Senate Democrats to over-perform in the coming hours of vote-counting in Michigan, Nevada and Arizona.Why it matters: Schumer's candidates have better margins than Vice President Harris in every battleground state. But if Democrats can't hold the GOP to fewer than 54 seats, winning back the majority gets extremely unlikely in two years.Democrats are privately hopeful that they can keep the GOP majority at 52 seats, but they'd have to run the table on the uncalled races.In Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, there is a path to victory for Senate Democrats.Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) has a taller hill to climb, but his campaign says they are hopeful outstanding votes in Philadelphia will help.The big picture: Senate Republicans have already clinched a majority next year. But many of their candidates lagged behind President-elect Trump.Nevada Republican Sam Brown is under-performing Trump by over four points, according to AP's latest totals in the state. Arizona Republican Kari Lake is also lagging Trump by just over four percent.In the Blue Wall, Wisconsin Republican Eric Hovde and Michigan Republican Mike Rogers trail Trump by over one point.Pennsylvania Republican Dave McCormick also lags Trump by around one and a half points, but is favored to win that race.Between the lines: The overwhelming rejection of the Democratic Party on Tuesday night wiped out Senate Democrats in tougher races, even though they, too, out-performed Harris.Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) has received around 116,000 more votes than Harris in Ohio. But he still lost comfortably to Republican Bernie Moreno.Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) has performed about seven points better than Harris in deep red Montana. That was never going to be enough for him to win.Zoom out: This dynamic is exactly why the GOP tried very hard in the final weeks of the campaign to tie their Senate candidates directly to Trump, hoping the former president could drag them across the finish line.And it is also exactly why Senate Democratic campaigns — especially Tester and Brown — took every step to distance themselves from the national party. What they're saying: A spokesperson for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the campaign arm of Senate Democrats, said in a statement on Wednesday that they think the remaining vote will strengthen their candidates' positions."When this process of counting the votes concludes Democrats will have won races in multiple states carried by Trump and successfully limited the GOP's potential gains on their historically favorable map," said spokesperson David Bergstein.

The warning signs are flashing for Democratic candidates in three of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's most important states for playing defense.Why it matters: The Rust Belt toss-ups of Michigan, Ohio and — as of Tuesday — Wisconsin could make the difference between a tiny GOP Senate majority next year or their biggest advantage since 2016.Schumer has strong incumbents in Wisconsin and Ohio. Both benefited from last running in 2018 when Donald Trump's name was off the ballot, but his presidency drove Democratic turnout.One of Schumer's earlier toss-ups — Montana — is trending the wrong way. Cook moved it last month to "lean Republican."🦡 1) Wisconsin: We told you last week that Sen. Tammy Baldwin's (D) re-election fight was setting off alarms among Wisconsin Dems.On Tuesday, Cook tightened her race against wealthy GOP businessman Eric Hovde from "lean Dem" to "toss-up." Baldwin cleaned house in 2018, winning by 10 percentage points.🔥 2) Ohio: Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown is a red state survivor, but his once-sizable lead over Bernie Moreno has been shrinking.NRSC internal polling showed them deadlocked at 46%, the Hill reported today. Back in 2018, Brown won by seven percentage points.⏰ 3) Michigan: Democratic nominee Rep. Elissa Slotkin has sounded the alarm as polling shows former Rep. Mike Rogers (R) closing in.Super PAC cash is flying into Michigan, as Axios reported. That includes $22.5 million from the GOP leader Mitch McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund.Zoom out: The good news largely stops there for Republicans, who came into the cycle with a historically favorable Senate map. The map's much better for Schumer's Democrats in 2026.The GOP has begun to triage: The NRSC has less than $1 million in ad reservations between both Arizona and Nevada — once considered pickup opportunities — from now until Election Day.What they're saying: NRSC Communications Director Mike Berg said the party has seen "positive movement across the board" after being "outspent badly over the summer."DSCC Communications Director David Bergstein said the GOP's "flawed candidates are hurting their prospects across the entire Senate map — and while the NRSC is slashing their advertising the DSCC is going on offense."The bottom line: Democrats are relying on good news in long-shot races, including ratings changes in their favor in Texas and Nebraska.
