Doug Jones loses regardless of who the GOP nominee is. With Trump (who is VERY popular in AL) at the top of the ballot, there is really no question.
McSally loses in AZ — Mark Kelly is a fantastic candidate and has a war chest.
Susan Collins loses in Maine. She’s unpopular, Gideon is good.
Both GA seats go Republican, although it will be close. I think GA is still just not ready to flip at this point — very possible in 2022 or 2024 if Dems keep investing there, though.
Cory Gardner loses in CO. CO has just gotten SO blue in the past 6 years I don’t see how he wins, especially considering he’s unpopular and Hickenlooper is well-liked.
Not sure about NC??? I think it depends who the Dem presidential is. If it’s Biden, Dems have a shot. Bernie? Forget about it.
Cornyn wins. The combination of him being much more liked than Ted Cruz and the Dems not having a superstar candidate like Beto like they did in ‘18 makes this one a pretty easy guess for me.
In KS, if Kobach gets the nom and Dems put someone good up I can *maybe* see it flipping, but otherwise no way.
McConnell- no way is he losing. I know people are excited about Amy McGrath but she’s just not a good candidate, especially up against the McConnell warchest.
Joni Ernst wins. Iowa has all but shifted completely red, IMO, and Ernst doesn’t really have any huge negatives that would cause people to mobilize against her.
The rest have no chance of flipping, IMO.
Thoughts?
I think if it’s a Biden/exciting female VP candidate ticket, Tillis is in real jeopardy and Ernst might even be too. With Bernie at the top, no way.
