Chamber predicts GOP Senate will last just two years

That was fast — or will be. The likelihood that Republicans will win enough seats to take control of the Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm elections is already being tempered with predictions that it won’t last long.

Rob Engstrom, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce political director, is warning that come 2016, it’s just as likely that the Democrats will win back the Senate. That year, 24 Republican seats will be up for re-election compared with just 10 Democrats. And the Democratic Senate seats are all in blue states President Obama won in 2012.
