Joel Benenson, Democratic Strategist:

Well, I will take the last point, you will meet about the generic ballot being dead-even. If you look back historically, that's not a good number for Democrats.

Republicans have done much better at the state levels. They have been able to gerrymander districts to their benefit, just as Democrats do to ours when we're in power. But it gives Republicans an upper hand. And so I think that the House is going to be very, very difficult to hold at this point.

And I think the Senate, we have no margin for error as Democrats. We are 50/50, with the vice president comprising the deciding vote there. And there are tough races all over the country. Now, I think both of them, both parties right now have about 40 safe seats up. So there are going to be a handful of competitive districts that are going to determine the outcomes there.

In some of them, Republicans look good. Some are very close. States like Georgia, the incumbent, Reverend Warnock, is in a tight battle with Herschel Walker. I think he will pull it out. I think Colorado, Senator Bennet will hold his seat. I think Maggie Hassan will hold her seat in New Hampshire. Then you got tossups in North Carolina. I think we're in for a wild night on election night.

And there could be some surprises either way here. But I think Neil is right in his assessment. And I but I also think Democrats holding here is going to be a tough thing in both houses.
