Fox News Power Rankings rate the battle for Senate control a toss-up with six days to go, with Democrats favoured in 48 seats and Republicans ahead in 47 — and the GOP needing to hold 50 to keep control with Vice President JD Vance as the tie-breaking vote.

A new poll finds South Carolina's Senate race is now a toss-up, a stunning shift in a heavily Republican state.

Trump rallied in Lubbock, Texas on Tuesday alongside Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton as that state's race tightens unexpectedly.

House Republicans are already eyeing a leadership fight between Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise if they lose their majority next Tuesday.
