The Biden administration has made it a lot easier for Republicans this midterm.
According to the latest projections from Real Clear Politics, Senate Republicans are expected to take 52 seats whereas Democrats are only expected to take 48.
Right now the Senate is split 50/50 with Kamala Harris being the tiebreaker but that could all change in November.
The two states where Republicans are expected to pick up is the state of Georgia and Nevada.

GOP Predicted to Win Senate in 2022 Midterms: Real Clear Politicshttps://t.co/Hk2CRtEJHC

WND had more on the story:
Real Clear Politics is predicting that the GOP will pick up two U.S. Senate seats in the midterm elections in just weeks, a result that if it develops would signal an end to many of Joe Biden’s agenda points – and even open the door for a number of paybacks.
The Democrats hold the majority right now in the 50-50 Senate through Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote.
But the RCP projection for the 2022 midterms suggests that most Democrat seats will be held by the Democrats and most GOP seats will be held by the GOP.The changes are expected to be in Nevada and Georgia, and if those develop, would give the GOP a 52-48 majority and control of the Senate.

Timcast got the scoop too:
Throughout the year, Republicans have consistently been expected to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives. In most polls, Democrats have been favored to retain control of the Senate, particularly after the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
However, the latest projections from Real Clear Politics now show the GOP is favored to win control of both chambers of Congress, picking up the Senate by a 52-48 margin.
Pennsylvania is a closely watched race, where Trump-backed candidate Mehmet Oz is squaring off against Democrat John Fetterman. For much of 2022, Fetterman has maintained a lead over Oz in polls, including RCP, which showed Fetterman with a nine-point lead over Oz in August.
As of Oct. 10, RCP average polling shows Oz has opened up a two-point lead over Fetterman and predicts Republicans will win the seat in November.
