2025 has been a wild year, so here’s a quick recap of where we stand heading into 2026:

4 Senators in battleground states announced they’re retiring.

Democrats Gary Peters (MI), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Tina Smith (MN), as well as Republican Thom Tillis (NC), aren’t seeking re-election next year.

3 Democrats were added to our 2026 Candidate Fund.

Blue Senate is committed to defending Jon Ossoff’s seat in Georgia and flipping key seats in Ohio and North Carolina by electing Sherrod Brown and Roy Cooper.

The GOP’s unpopularity has put new battlegrounds in play.

North Carolina, Ohio, Maine, Texas, Florida, and Iowa highlight a long list of difficult — but not impossible — Democratic pickup opportunities.

We’ve set a $20,000 End-of-Year fundraising goal because we need to stockpile resources before the end of the year to boost Democrats in key races and give us our best chance to flip the Senate. Will you help make that a reality by chipping in $25 today?

Thanks!
