Control of the Pennsylvania Senate chamber could swing from Republicans to Democrats if the minority party can find a way to flip five seats, while retaining the 10 Democratic seats up for election that it currently holds.

Republicans currently have a 28-21 advantage in the 50-seat chamber. John Yudichak is the lone independent in the chamber and he is not running for reelection.

The Senate Democratic Campaign Committee (SDCC) has identified five Districts where, if things break the right way, could lead to a change at the top in Harrisburg.

Reproductive rights may turn out to be the hottest issue in the Keystone State this fall and with GOP votes falling in line for Senate Bill 106, the traditional midterm headwinds facing Democrats may not be as stiff.
