The US Senate races are expected to be key in the 2026 midterms, with eight key races that Democrats need to defend, including those in Georgia, Georgia, and Ohio, where they face a potential upset. The Democratic primary will see Representative Jasmine Crockett and state Representative James Talarico in a tough race for the Democratic seat. Meanwhile, former Democratic Representative Mary Peltola is challenging incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska, where he is expected to secure another term. In Georgia, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is running for reelection after winning an early 2021 runoff. The remaining four competitive Senate races include a potential Democratic challenger in Georgia and a potential Republican challenger in Ohio.
