Democrats gain new momentum in fight for Senate majority

With Election Day just over six months away, some Senate Democratic candidates are starting to outraise vulnerable Republican incumbents in states where Trump's approval rating has taken a hit.

Senate Republicans, who control 53 seats, are still the favorite to retain control of the chamber, but Democrats are narrowing the gap.

"States like North Carolina and Maine have gotten better and better for Democrats throughout the cycle," he added

The Cook Political Report, another nonpartisan forecasting group, says "the chances of Democrats taking back the Senate are rising and [are] now close to 50-50 odds" with "several plausible paths" for Democrats to win a majority.
