共和党参议员正凝视深渊。两年后他们要重夺参议院控制权可能非常困难，尤其是如果民主党赢得密西西比州和阿拉斯加州仍未决出胜负的席位。
Senate Republicans are staring into the abyss. It could be very difficult for them to reclaim the chamber in two years, especially if Democrats win still-uncalled races in Mississippi and Alaska.
这些席位可能还要过几天才能决出胜负，将代表民主党潜在的第55和第56个多数党席位——这是自贝拉克·奥巴马总统任期前两年以来的最大多数优势。
Those seats may not be decided for days, and would represent the potential 55th and 56th seats of a Democratic majority — the largest since the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency.
共和党在2028年夺取参议院席位的最佳机会在于亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、俄亥俄州、新罕布什尔州、宾夕法尼亚州和内华达州。除宾夕法尼亚州和俄亥俄州外，民主党在所有这些州都保持着稳固的连胜纪录。
Republicans’ top Senate pickup opportunities in 2028 are Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. Democrats have solid winning streaks in all of those states except Pennsylvania and Ohio.
对于试图在两年内夺回参议院控制权的共和党人来说，情况可能更糟：民主党在威斯康星州和北卡罗来纳州也有夺席机会，而共和党把持的南卡罗来纳州、爱荷华州、堪萨斯州和阿拉斯加州席位也岌岌可危。
It could get even worse for Republicans trying to take the chamber back in two years: Democrats have pickup opportunities of their own in Wisconsin and North Carolina, and GOP-held seats in South Carolina, Iowa, Kansas and Alaska.
