Could the US Senate flip to the right? Eight races to watch this election

Democrats hold a slim majority in Congress’s upper chamber. But that lead could erode, with 34 Senate seats up for grabs.
All eyes seem glued on the United States presidential race, as former President Donald Trump attempts to eke out a victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
But as both candidates strive to pull ahead in the nail-biting race, other contests are set to unfold across the country, with the balance of power at stake.
The general election on November 5 will not only decide the next president but also which party controls the two chambers of Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Right now, Congress is split. The Republicans lead the House, while the Democrats hold the Senate.
But many political analysts speculate the Senate could be on the verge of flipping to Republican control this election cycle, making its races ones to watch.
