A number of contested congressional races could rival the drama and fascination of the main contest between President Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden on Election Day, possibly even beyond.

Republicans control the upper chamber by a 53-47 majority but that could be in jeopardy in Tuesday’s presidential election as some GOP senators are locked in highly competitive contests, including Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine.

Democrats would need to pick up four seats to seize majority control or alternatively, three seats if Joe Biden is elected president.

Republicans can afford to lose three seats to maintain control only if President Trump wins re-election so Vice President Mike Pence can cast any tie-breaking votes.

Republicans are defending 23 seats, while the Democrats have 12 up for grabs.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put the battle for control of the Senate up to a 50-50 proposition.

“We have a lot of exposure. This is a huge Republican class. … There’s dogfights all over the country,” McConnell, who is also facing a challenger, said during a campaign stop last week in Kentucky.

Some of the most watched Senate races, among others such as, South Carolina, Maine, Colorado, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Texas, and more:

North Carolina: Tillis, a first-term Republican senator, is running uphill against Cunningham, a former state senator, even though the Democrat has been fighting allegations of marital infidelity.

But recent polls show Tillis beginning to make up ground following the sexting allegations, even though Cunningham has outspent him in the Tar Hell State.

Cunningham, who had led Tillis 54-37 percent among women, has seen that lead fall to 52- 40 percent, WRAL.com reported.

RealClear Politics and the Cook Political Report rate the race as a toss up.

Pennsylvania: The incumbent Lamb is trying to protect his seat from Trump-backed Parnell in the working-class western Pennsylvania district that the president won in 2016. Both are military veterans and their campaigns have gained national attention.

Lamb is considered a “rising star” among Democrats, while Parnell was invited on stage by the president at his rally outside the Pittsburgh airport in September.

RealClear Politics rate it a toss up and Cook Political Report said it is likely Democratic.
