Ed Whelan(@EdWhelanEPPC):Senate Watch: If Trump is going to have any success on judicial nominations in last two years of his presidency, Republicans need to retain control of the Senate. It's 53 R, 47 D now. RCP has six toss-ups (five in seats held by Rs: AK, IA, ME, OH, TX) and current R seat in NC (Tillis) leaning Dem. If the toss-ups split evenly and Dems win in NC, it's 50-50 with VP's tie-breaking vote.
