Democrats need 4 pickups as competitive Senate map shifts

Democrats must flip four Republican-held seats to gain control of the U.S. Senate, political analysts say.

With just a few primary elections remaining, the competitive map continues to shift, and parties are refining their strategies ahead of the general election, analysts added.

Republicans are largely on the defensive, and opportunities for pickups are harder to find, observers say, leaving both sides to focus resources on a relatively small number of competitive races.
