Democrats are down but not out in these key Senate races

Democrats are fighting to hold on to their 51-49 majority in the Senate—and the latest polling shows they’re the underdogs in this election. But there is hope.

Republicans lead Democrats in enough Senate races to flip the chamber, according to 538’s polling averages as of Sept. 27 at 12 PM ET. Democrats’ slim majority is under threat for two main reasons.

First, Democrat-turned-independent Joe Manchin is retiring, and his West Virginia seat will undoubtedly flip. And second, Democratic incumbent Jon Tester of Montana trails his Republican opponent.

But these are polls, not election results, and because of that, they can be changed by donating, mobilizing, and voting for Democratic candidates.

There is just over a month until Nov. 5. Here are the races that need your help.
