What's the Difference Between 50-50 and 51-49 Senate?
With Senator Cortes Masto winning Nevada, Democrats have retained control in the Senate. A 51-49 Senate would mean having a majority on each committee rather than vote deadlocks that require discharge petitions. The 2024 map for Democrats in the Senate is challenging. There are Democratic seats up for election and purple states like Nevada, Washington, Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Mexico, Wisconsin,. Also in red states like West Virginia, Montana and Ohio.
