US Senators up for re-election in 2022

Let's keep this list in mind and help out those candidates who truly want to be in the Democratic party. I see that 5 Republicans are NOT running for re-election (thanks, T****!) and ALL Dems are running for re-election. It's a damn shame that Manchin and Sinema are not on this list for 2022, but if we take a few of those GOP-held seats, like North Carolina, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and maybe Florida, (and hold all of the Dem seats) we won't need to kowtow to them.

Thanks! The only Dems I'd worry about are CA and GA, but Warnock won once, and Padilla has won state-wide elections before, just not as Senator.

Let's hope flaming Trumpanzees win the primaries in the Republican states and we can knock a few of them off.
