We are waiting for Sununu(R-NH) and Johnson(R-WI) to make a decision on 2022 US Senate runs.

If Sununu and Johnson decide to run, NH and WI will be in the Lean R column.
If Sununu and Johnson decide not to run, NH and WI will be in the Lean D column.
If Sununu does not run in NH, Republicans will have to settle with Ayotte-R.
If Johnson does not run in WI, Republicans will have to settle with Steil-R or Gallagher-R

Democrats will end up with at least 49 seats.
37)CA(Padilla-D)
38)HI(Schatz-D)
39)VT(Leahy-D) if Leahy retires, Republicans will need Phil Scott to reconsider or else VT is lost cause for Republicans.
40)NY(Schumer-D)
41)MD(Van Hollen-D)
42)CT(Blumenthal-D)
43)IL(Duckworth-D)
44)WA(Murray-D)
45)OR(Wyden-D)
46)CO(Bennet-D)
47)NV(Cortez Masto-D)
48)AZ(Kelly-D)
49)PA(Fetterman-D)
50) Democrats will need to win GA(Warnock-D vs Walker-R) in 11/2022 or in 1/2023. or
50/51)NH(Hassan-D)
50/51/52)WI(Barnes-D)

In the last poll... Also he has been incredibly pro Trump in a state that has not been incredibly pro Trump. Hopefully voters know better if he does actually decide to run again.

Hopefully we see the political environment dramatically improve. Really wanna see Warnock win in a landslide next year (doubtful of course, but not entirely impossible).
