Yup - quite a lot are solid Republican/Democrat, but there are a couple of Senate seats that could go either way.
Arizona (Mark Kelly) - currently Democrats, could go either way
Florida (Marco Rubio) - currently Republican, probably stay that way
Georgia (Raphael Warnock) - just became Democrats, could go either way
Nevada (Catherine Cortez Mato) - Democrats, could go either way
New Hampshire (Maggie Hassan) - Democrats, could go either way
North Carolina (Richard Burr*) - Republican, could go either way
Ohio (Rob Portman*) - Republican, probably stay that way
Pennsylvania (Pat Toomey*) - Republican, could go either way
Wisconsin (Ron Johnson) - Republican, could go either way
So, out of potentially 9 Senate seats, the thinking (currently) is that 2 will stay Republican (Florida & Ohio), and the other 7 could make the difference to either side to be in the majority.
Could be exciting!
