Who will control the U.S. Senate after November?

    
     If the Senate remains in Republican control, then having two Republican U.S. Senators---Richard Shelby--and potentially Tommy Tubberville, would be great---but if the Democrats win enough seats to take control, that would leave Alabama with virtually no power in the upper house of Congress.

Can the Democrats do it?
From a Rolling Stone story:

Republicans currently hold a three-seat edge in the Senate, 53 to 47. At first glance, the 2020 electoral map looks favorable to Democrats. Republicans must defend 23 seats to the Democrats’ 12. But the terrain is challenging: 20 of the GOP incumbents hail from states Trump carried in 2016.

Still, nonpartisan analysts like Democratic chances. “The Senate’s in play,” says Nathan Gonzales, editor of Inside Elections, which handicaps federal races. “Democrats have enough takeover opportunities to get there without having to win everything on the table.”

     So back to Alabama. If the Democrats take the U.S. Senate, despite a Tubberville victory, Alabama, with two GOP U.S. Senators, would be virtually powerless.

Just thinking about it.
