  "account": "Logan Phillips, founder of the forecasting portal \"Race to the White House\", predicted last year that Democrats had a 30% chance of gaining a Senate majority in the upcoming midterm elections. He faced criticism for being overly optimistic, but now other forecasters agree that a Democratic takeover is possible. Phillips' model currently gives Democrats a 72% chance of gaining Senate control, which would require winning four seats. The midterm elections are set to take place on November 3.",
  "summary": "Ahead of the midterm elections, pollster Phillips sees the Democrats ahead in the House of Representatives and, for the first time, also in the Senate. The Republicans have belatedly realized they made a big mistake.",
