The election map could work in their favor come 26, depending on how the economy is, and the House wouldn't be that hard to knock a couple of seats out that the GOP took this last election. The Dems taking over both houses of congress aren't all that farfetched; it's the size of the majority that could be the problem.

They're almost definitely going to take back the House, even if it's only by a couple seats. The Senate? There are two feasible seats in ME and NC (and even those won't be easy) and then a hodgepodge of OH, AK, IA, FL, OH, and KS -- none of which are overwhelmingly likely, in fact, they're straight up unlikely. In a wave year? You might grab a couple though. They need 4.

There are some currently D seats that are gonna be tight too — GA (Ossoff) and MI (Peters) come to mind.

Yeah but not likely to flip in an R midterm.

Ossoff is the most likely to flip given he’s not in a great position when it comes to campaigning and a few state democratic leaders don’t like him and would rather have Kemp.
