The Democratic Party's path to retake the upper chamber seems to be widening – and in places once thought safe for Republicans. Cook Political Report recently moved Iowa and Texas into the toss-up column, both of which President Donald Trump won decisively in 2024. To retake the Senate, however, Democrats need to hold all their seats and flip four others, which would require capturing at least two seats in ruby-red states. Could Texas and Iowa be the pair of aces they need to triumph? On the surface, the idea almost seems ridiculous, but a closer look suggests otherwise.
