North Carolina, Iowa, Utah, possibly even Florida. These races stay mostly under the national radar

No, they aren't totally ignored, but compare the relatively sparse attention they all receive to the non stop political talk focused on Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, where seats held by Democrats are deemed to be at high risk. When it comes to forming a Senate majority, a Senate seat is a Senate seat regardless of how high profile a race is or is not thought to be. Democrats (or an Independent in the case of Utah) are positioned to possibly win in all of those states. Republicans can also lose Senate seats that they have held in Ohio and Wisconsin, and of course in Pennsylvania. On the other side of the coin some might say Democrats could lose their grip in New Hampshire. That totals at least seven Republican held Senate seats still in play, compared to four seats on the Democratic side. But one would be hard pressed to realize that by following national media election coverage.
