Republicans could lose Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who announced in January that he would run for governor in 2015, if his bid is successful.His retirement could create an opening for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) to make a bid for her old job

Currently, Democrats are expected to have 10 seats up for election, and Republicans are expected to have 24 seats up for election

PA WI IL are seen as tossups where the GOP could lose seats. 
Despite the election of Republican Larry Hogan as governor last fall, Maryland is a very Democratic state. Democrats are strongly favored to retain Mikulski’s seat, so her retirement is unlikely to have much effect on the battle for control of the Senate after 2016.
