I still think Biden will be tiebreaker, as I have throughout the cycle (I've changed my mind on the exact states that fall and hold, but it's always totted up to fifty seats apiece)

I still guess 50-50, with Biden as tie-breaker.  The GOP can pick up SD, WV, MT, AR, & LA, but I think that Democrats have a good shot at holding the rest of their seats.

Barring a major blowout, I just don't see Democrats holding 4 competitive seats considering the atmosphere this year

Probably the Democrats, although my answer to this question changes pretty much weekly

Dem hold, 50-50 via the tiebreaking vote of Joe Biden. I've never expected an R takeover but the whole Kansas fiasco has lowered my predicted odds.

Republicans, as long as everything goes well.  I'm not a hack who just pretends my party will win.

I've always said that the Democrats will keep the Senate and I'm not changing that prediction now.

I'm expecting Republicans to win control of the Senate 51-49, picking up West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Alaska and/or Iowa could flip Republican, but I'm not counting on that. I still predict that the GOP should hold all of its current seats.

The Senate will stay Democratic, of course. The majority was supposed to go the last two times, but the Republicans screwed the pooch then and they still are.

It's already a given Dems will lose seats in MT, WV, and SD and are likely to lose AR and probably LA if Landrieu can't break 50% in the jungle primary. It's unlikely they find that 6th seat though, and that's assuming in the process the GOP holds KY, GA, KS and MS. They probably won't win NC since Tillis hasn't even been able to campaign all that much and is way too unpopular to pull it out and IA and CO they messed up big time by nominating flawed candidates.

Their main and one of their only paths to a majority at this point is them winning AK for the 6th seat and holding KS; both of which I don't see happening right now.

So R+5, with Biden breaking for Democrats.

I want to reitterate before "someone" calls me a hack. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if the GOP gains the Senate, but at the moment the most likely dice roll seems to be 50-50.

Democrats, Republicans gain 4-5 depending on how Orman caucuses.
