A bunch of voters hear the word "vote" and think "President". A bunch of voters have no idea what the House and Senate actually do, and don't care. A fairly large percentage of voters tick the box for their preferred candidate for President, and leave the rest of the ballot blank.
Add in the fact that a number of the Republicans in the Senate are RINO's who hate Donald Trump, and may not get a "yes" vote from some Trump supporters, and yes: it's entirely possible we might lose the Senate in November. I personally don't think it will happen--I'm thinking a landslide is on the way. But there is an outside chance.
Don't forget, a LOT of house RINOs resigned before the 2018 election. With a presidential election on the horizon to pull out more voters than 2018, a house win for us is possible.

Oh yeah. Something like thirty of 'em. In thirty separate House races, the incumbency advantage disappeared from the Republican side of the ballot, giving the Dems a huge bennie. Even with that, the D's only managed to pick up around forty seats. It was pretty much the worst performance ever by the opposition party in an American midterm.
Yes, a House win for the Republicans is possible this November. I say it's very likely. Just that it's less likely than Trump completely bulldozing Biden into the pavement. Don't bet the farm on a House win. :)
We did lose the House in 2018.
