These Senate seats are up for election in 2020
There are 34 Senate seats up for election in 2020 including a special election in Arizona many of which are expected to be brutally competitive as Democrats vie for control of the Senate.
Quick take: The U.S. Senate is currently made up of 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats. Dems must win 3 or 4 seats to take control of the Senate 4 to recapture control or 3, if they also win the vice presidency.
Republican senators representing left-leaning states Susan Collins (R-Maine), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) are considered among the Democrats clearest 2020 targets.
As Democrats from Trump-won states Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) are also vulnerable.
Some of the notable seats include Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.).
Driving the news: 2018 gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams announced on Tuesday that she would not be vying for a Georgia Senate seat in 2020. Also this week, Rep. Cindy Axne of Iowa and Rep. Joaquin Castro in Texas turned down chances to challenge Republicans standing re-election in 2020.
