The Battle for Senate Majority 2020

Senate Majority PAC, the super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, raised $61 million in 2019 and ended the year with $47 million in the bank (a record sum that exceeds that of its GOP counterpart and will boost Democrats as they seek to recapture the Senate this year).

The Republican counterpart PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell raised $27.3 million and ended the year with $30.8 million in the bank.

The fundraising momentum and re-election map/math have Democrats optimistic about taking back control of the Senate in 2020.  

Democrats need a net gain of four Senate seats to win majority control (or a net gain of 3 Senate seats if a Democratic Vice President takes office).

Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate and will be defending 23 seats this year, with at least 6 of them considered vulnerable battlegrounds.  

Democrats will be defending only 12 senatorial seats this year, with up to three considered vulnerable.
