The GOP need 51 seats to take control of the Senate. Assuming Real Clear Politic's data, they currently have 45 seats, meaning that they need to win 6 of the toss-ups. Those races will determine the Senates future political landscape. The only question now, can the GOP win a majority of the toss-ups and take home a large victory?
