Texas has emerged as one of the Democrats ' best chances of flipping a Senate seat in 2024 .

The victor in these states could determine which party controls the Senate as each side seeks a foothold in an almost evenly-divided electoral landscape.

Without a Senate controlled by their own party, the next president will struggle to pass the most ambitious parts of their campaign platform.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott is defending the seat against former U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell .

If she wins, she would be the first Hispanic woman to represent Florida in the US Senate .

National Democrats made a last-minute cash dump into the Florida race as their chances in Montana began to slip.

If she wins, she would be the first Black senator from Maryland .

More than 52% of registered voters in Maryland are Democrats , while only 24% are Republicans .

Several other races are off the radar of national political groups that are busy going after easier targets.

But campaigns in North Dakota , New Jersey , Missouri and Minnesota say they have a shot at taking out their statistically-favored opponents.
