Summary
Eight days before the midterms, the Senate map remains unusually fluid, with both parties still seeing multiple paths to control despite growing confidence that Democrats can take the House.

Trump’s closing travel schedule shows where Republicans see risk and opportunity: he has campaigned in red states including Kansas, Iowa, Florida and Georgia, aiming to lift lagging GOP turnout.
Maine and New Hampshire stand out as places Trump has avoided, underscoring how his unpopularity in some battlegrounds could hurt Republican Senate candidates in the final stretch.
