Currently, Democrats hold a slim majority with 51 seats, including four independents who caucus with them, while Republicans hold 49 seats. With 34 seats up for grabs this election cycle, both parties have a chance to shift the balance of power.
The stakes are especially high for Democrats, who face tough battles in eight states that lean Republican. Losses by key incumbents could potentially reduce Democratic representation in reliably conservative states and leave them with little margin for error.
This year's election is set to shape the legislative landscape for years to come, with both parties fighting for every possible seat.
The election will also test the down-ballot strength of both parties in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania - key presidential battleground states often called 'the Blue Wall' due to their relatively consistent Democratic voting patterns.
