There are 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats and two Independents that make up the Senate, but the two Independents align themselves with the Democrats, meaning Vice President Kamala Harris serves as the tiebreaker for any partisan vote that comes through.
The math is really easy in that the Republicans need to gain one seat to regain a majority.
Of note, Republicans are forecasted easily to gain more than the five seats needed to retake control of the House of Representatives, so focus has turned to the Senate, which is more of a toss-up.In short though, the focus is on five races in particular that are considered toss-ups. Of those races, three are currently controlled and need to be defended by Democrats.
