2020 US Senate Election- Which US Senate seat up for re-election in 2020 is the MACACA seat?

The MACACA term is what former Republican US Senator George Allen(VA) used during his 2006 re-election campaign. That gaffe cost Allen-R the election and it cost Republicans majority control in the US Senate.

In 2006, Democrats held onto every Democratic held seat up in 2006 and picked up 6 seats.
PA(Santorum-R)Casey-D
OH(DeWine-R)Brown-D
RI(Chaffee-R)Whitehouse-D
MO(Talent-R)McCaskill-D
MT(Burns-R)Tester-D
VA(Allen-R)Webb-D

In 2020- Democrats need a net gain of 3 to 4 seats depending on what happens in the 2020 US Presidential Election.
Scenario 1
Democrats win the 2020 US Presidential Election.
Democrats win every Democratic held seat up in 2020 plus
CO(Gardner-R)
AZ(McSally-R)
NC(Tillis-R)
Scenario 2
Democrats win the 2020 US Presidential Election.
Democrats win every Democratic held seat up in 2020 except AL(Jones-D) plus
CO(Gardner-R)
AZ(McSally-R)
NC(Tillis-R)
GA(Perdue-R)
Scenario 3
Trump manages to get re-elected.
Democrats win every Democratic held seat up in 2020 plus
CO(Gardner-R)
AZ(McSally-R)
NC(Tillis-R)
GA(Perdue-R)
Scenario 4
Trump manages to get re-elected.
Democrats win every Democratic held seat up in 2020 except AL(Jones-D) plus
CO(Gardner-R)
AZ(McSally-R)
NC(Tillis-R)
GA(Perdue-R)
TX(Cornyn-R)
