one-term senator chris van hollen from maryland chairs the dscc for the 2017–2018 election cycle. before the 2018 elections, democrats hold 49 seats in the u.s. senate while republicans hold 51. the unusually imbalanced 2018 senate map, created by successful 2006 and 2012 elections, has resulted in a large number of vulnerable democrats. joe donnelly of indiana, claire mccaskill of missouri, joe manchin of west virginia, heidi heitkamp of north dakota, jon tester of montana and bill nelson of florida are seen as most vulnerable. on november 6, incumbent democrats in four states were unseated. senator donnelly was unseated by state rep. mike braun, sen. mccaskill was defeated by missouri attorney general josh hawley, sen. heitkamp was defeated by kevin cramer, representative for north dakota's at-large congressional district, and long term sen. nelson was defeated by then governor rick scott. the dscc considered open seats in arizona and tennessee, dean heller's seat in nevada and potentially ted cruz's seat in texas and cindy hyde-smith's seat in mississippi as possible targets. of those potentially vulnerable seats, democrats picked up the open seat in arizona vacated by jeff flake, with rep. kyrsten sinema defeating rep. martha mcsally, as well as the seat in nevada held by dean heller, being defeated by rep. jacky rosen, leaving the senate's balance at 53-47, with republicans in control.
