2018 and 2020 US Senate Elections- Seats Democrats need to win to get back in the majority.

2018
The only vulnerable Republican held US Senate seat Democrats could pick up is NV. AZ could also be a Democratic pickup if Flake-R loses in the primary or a top tier Democrat- Sinema or Kelly runs.
Democratic incumbents in states Trump won by a double digit margin- IN-Donnelly,MO-McCaskill,MT-Tester,ND-Heitkamp,and WV-Manchin are vulnerable to defeat. Donnelly-IN and McCaskill-MO end up losing.
Democrats will end up with a net lose of 1 seat.
2020
Democrats need a net gain of 3 seats plus they need to unseat Trump or Pence.
The most vulnerable Democratic held US Senate seats -NH and VA are going to stay in the Democratic column. Democrats will pick up CO and NC plus AK-if Begich or Berkowitz runs and MT-if Bullock or Schweitzer runs or GA-if Stacey Evans or Stacy Abrams runs and IA-if Tom Vilsack or Chet Culver runs.
