Why Republicans Are Struggling in Double the Senate Races

The number of Republican-held Senate seats that are toss-ups or lean Democratic has surged from three in May to six as the post-Labor Day midterm homestretch is about to begin, according to a top political analysis.

In May, only the GOP-held seats in North Carolina, Maine, and Ohio were considered toss-ups or leaning towards Democrats. Now, Texas, Iowa, and Alaska have also turned into toss-ups, per the Cook Political Report.

President Trump won each of those states except Maine in 2024 — four of them by double digits.
