While most Americans are focused on the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, both major parties are eyeing key Senate and House races to see who will control the legislative branches of government.
There are several competitive down-ballot races in 2024, but these twelve are the most important to watch on Election Day.
The Senate is currently under Democratic control, but polling shows Republicans can take over if they win seats in Montana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio. The election prediction model from 538 shows Republicans winning control of the Senate in 916 out of 1,000 election simulations at the time of writing. Republicans only need to pick up three out of the five seats to flip the majority.
