We have a tough fight ahead of us to take back the Senate next month: it won’t be easy. Unlike the House, only 35 out of 100 senators are up for election this year, and many more Democrats than Republicans are up for re-election this time around. It is an uphill struggle, but one worth fighting for, and some “safe” seats, like Ted Cruz’s in Texas, are far more competitive than the GOP would like.
