Appreciate it.

There are two ways for Democrats to think about their chances of winning a majority in the Senate this fall.

NPR's Stephen Fowler has an assessment.

Stephen, good morning.

Okay, start with Texas.

Ken Paxton, state attorney general, won the primary, knocked off Senator John Cornyn.

So what makes that race a little harder for Republicans?

Okay, so Democrats feel good about their candidate.

Republicans feel a little less good.

Is this pattern repeated in some other states?

OK, so we mentioned Texas already, but walk us across the whole map here.

OK, so you just named about half a dozen purple or red states.

Democrats would need to win several of them.

How do you get to the point where a Democrat would win in a heavily Republican state?

And that may pull Tallarico across the finish line.

Okay, so that is the way things would look in Texas, but we mentioned these other states.

I guess in some states, the candidates are not entirely settled, right?

That's a good point.

There are states where Democrats are on the offensive trying to flip a seat, but they are desperate to hold on in places like Michigan as well.

Stephen, thanks so much.
