” Republicans up for reelection:”
Appreciate the effort.
But what matters is the Dem Senators up for re-election,
Despite the media’s narrative it is the effect of this on the Dems that matters.
It takes 3 Rs to defeat the nominee, but only one Dem to pass.
Democrats are only defending 12 seats to the Republicans 23, essentially a reversal of 2018.
Alabama: Doug Jones (0%, Republicans take back)
Delaware: Chris Coons (safe)
Illinois: Dick Durbin (safe)
Massachusetts: Ed Markey (safe)
Michigan: Gary Peters (86.6%)
Minnesota: Tina Smith (98.6%)
New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen (safe)
New Jersey: Corey Booker (safe)
New Mexico: Ben Ray Lujan (safe)
Oregon: Jeff Merkley (safe)
Rhode Island: Jack Reed (safe)
Virginia: Mark Warner (safe)
Democrats will lose one seat.

3 Republicans defecting would not get the job done. It would have to be 4. If its only 3, Mike Pence will break the tie.
If this goes to the Supreme Court as the Dems plan without question not to secede....we darn well better have an appointed Justice to fill Ginsberg's seat 'Before' the election...and confirmed!
