WASHINGTON — In seven weeks, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid will know if he will still run the U.S. Senate.
The campaign to control the Senate is the defining storyline of American politics in the Nov. 4 election, and Reid is a main character.
Forecasts predict Republicans could capture a slight majority in the Senate. An unpopular Democratic president and the first national election since the 2013 implementation of Obamacare has helped create a tough environment for Senate Democrats up for re-election in red states.
If Republicans gain a net six seats in November, they would control both chambers of Congress for President Obama's last two years in office. Reid would lose control of the Senate for the first time since ascending to majority leader in 2007.
