Republicans need to gain six seats in order to take over majority control in the Senate. Below is our list of the top 10 races that are most likely to change party control, with No. 1 being the most likely to flip.
Georgia (Open-R): Saxby Chambliss’s retirement, a crowded Republican primary and a Democratic recruit, who even Republicans concede has performed fairly well to this point, help this one round out the top 10. Democrat Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, is waiting in the wings to face off with either Reps. Jack Kingston, Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey, former Susan G. Komen senior vice president Karen Handel or former Reebok and Dollar General CEO David Perdue, a political novice. Both sides see the strongest of those being either Perdue or Kingston. Nunn has tacked to the center so far while lamenting the lack of pragmatism in Congress. She has tried to talk locally, but national issues will creep in, including a local issue that’s become national news — guns. And Nunn has indicated she would support things like Manchin-Toomey background check bill.
