→Senate: In Alaska and Ohio, the Democrat candidate has a slight polling advantage in early July, four months prior to the election. Winning both of these races would likely give the Democrats control of the U.S. Senate.
Sen. [[Thom Tillis]] (R-NC) has declined to run for reelection in the [[swing state]] of [[North Carolina]] to avoid a likely defeat. Trump won this state by 50.9% to 47.7%.

In Texas incumbent Senator [[John Cornyn]] was defeated in a primary runoff by Texas Attorney General [[Ken Paxton]]. Early polls have Paxton in a tight race with Democrat [[James Talarico]]. A [[Libertarian Party]] candidate, Ted Brown, is also running; polls have him between 1-4% of the vote. Talarico's chances of flipping the seat blue depend on whether Cornyn's voters decide to vote for Paxton, vote for Talarico or Brown, or sit the race out.
