Based on these two factors, if history continues as usual (and the Democrats are unable to rig elections), the Republicans needed to gain only five seats in the House to regain control of that chamber, and only one Senate seat to break the tie.  For examples, in Florida the current District 13 (held by party-switcher Democrat and former Governor Charlie Crist) was open as Crist intended to run for Governor and it also gained a 28th seat (the makeup of the districts is dependent on redistricting; although Republicans held majorities in both chambers of the Florida Legislature, the state constitution required districts to be generally compact geographically -- an exception is allowed for the widely-spread Florida Keys -- and therefore unlike other states Florida cannot gerrymander the districts to favor one party or the other).  The Senate, however, was harder to reclaim as the lone Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, Pat Toomey, retired, and Pennsylvania likely repeated its rigging in 2020 to ensure a Democrat victory, even if the Georgia seat was reclaimed by the Republicans based on their strengthening of election laws to prevent the rigging from 2020 in that state.
