2024 elections: 10 Senate races to watch in Tuesday's US polls
Senate, both by slim margins
Republicans are well positioned to win the majority in the Senate on Tuesday's election but Democrats cannot be counted out entirely. Democrats face a tough fight in US election to preserve their narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate. Polls suggest the two parties could switch control of each chamber, with Democrats winning back the House and Republicans retaking the Senate, according to the BBC.

2024 presidential elections: Key Senate races to watch
Montana: Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is the most vulnerable incumbent running for reelection. Tester's bid for re-election to a fourth six-year term in heavily Republican Montana will be one of the chamber's most competitive, according to a Reuters analysis of the three main nonpartisan U.S. election ratings services. He’s facing Republican businessman Tim Sheehy, a retired Navy SEAL and first-time candidate who has pulled ahead in the limited public polling of the race. Tester has served since 2007 in the Senate. The third-generation working farmer has never won a race with more than 51% of the vote.
Ohio: The race for Ohio was essentially a dead heat ahead of the election and widely considered to be one of the tightest of toss-ups races in the country. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown,71, is facing Republican Bernie Moreno in this critical state. Brown is facing a competitive reelection campaign in a state where Trump has a great deal of support.
