Democrats believe they can beat vulnerable GOP lawmakers in Oregon and Wisconsin , take one or two critical seats in Iowa , and claw back a Nebraska seat they havenât held in nearly a decade .

For every seat outside New York and California that Democrats feel good about, Republicans are looking to a different tight contest.

In Alaska , polling has Republican Nick Begich leading Rep. Mary Peltola in Alaskaâs at-large seat.

Maine 's Jared Golden is facing a barrage of pro-Second Amendment ads in recent weeks after he reversed his opposition to an assault weapons ban in 2023 .
