My picks at this point House: Reps 244 Seats - Reps take the House with a really big pickup of seats. I think 244 is roughly the ceiling for Reps with the map changes since post 2020 but they will be right at that number. Senate races: Pennsylvania: Oz (R) wins a close race New Hampshire: Hassan (D) wins a close race North Carolina: Budd (R) wins and it won't be that close Nevada: Laxalt (R) wins a nail biter Arizona: Masters (R) wins a nail biter Georgia: Walker (R) wins a nail biter but it will be close whether he avoids a runoff Ohio: Vance (R) wins and it won't be close Wisconsin: Johnson (R) wins by a few % Colorado: Bennet (D) wins and it won't be real close Washington: Murray (D) wins and it won't be real close Florida: Rubio (R) wins easily Governor races: Michigan: Whitmer (D) wins a nail biter Wisconsin: Michels (R) wins a close one Minnesota: Walz (D) wins in a nail biter Arizona: Lake (R) wins by a few % Nevada: Lombardo (R) wins a nail biter New Mexico: Grisham (D) wins a close one Oregon: Drazan (R) wins a nail biter New York: Hochul (D) wins a close one Pennsylvania: Mastriano (R) wins in a really big upset Georgia: Kemp (R) wins easily Texas: Abbott (R) wins easily Florida: DeSantis (R) wins easily
