Newsweek sought the expertise of Shawn Donahue in a report on Democrats' chances of flipping the Senate, with 75 days to the midterms. He said Democrats "absolutely" have a chance at winning control of the Senate in November. "If we would have had this discussion a year ago, the answer probably would have been not very likely," he said. "I still think it's a hard road for them to win control of the Senate, but it definitely seems like it's doable now."
