Political ‘Nostradamus’ says Dems will flip these 5 seats to gain Senate majority

Top political prognosticator and historian Allan Lichtman is predicting which five seats the Democrats will flip in the midterms in order to gain control of the US Senate.

“First, my predictions are grounded in the fact that midterm elections are almost always losers for the party holding the White House, ” Lichtman told Newsweek. “In recent decades, the incumbent party has lost an average of about 25 House seats and 3 Senate seats. Those losses balloon to about 40 House seats and 6 Senate seats when the president’s approval rating is 40% or below.”
