or might senator christie (r) be possible?

which of our president/vp candidates will be replaced in the senate by repub governors?

i'm also not overjoyed by our prospects in texas or georgia, but, i suppose spring is a time for optimism.

i will be pleasantly surprised if our ppresident and vp can inspire enough democrats to the polls to take those seats. we must choose wisely.

If Booker-NJ decides not to seek re-election to his NJ US Senate seat in 2020.
US Representative Donald Norcross(NJ-1cd) or Josh Gottheimer(NJ-5cd) will be the likely Democratic nominee.
The current Democratic Presidential candidates in the US Senate that will be replaced by Republican governor's are:
Bernie Sanders(VT),Elizabeth Warren(MA),Sherrod Brown(OH),Chris Van Hollen(MD), Kyrsten Sinema(AZ), and Maggie Hassan(NH).

Democrats need to recruit top tier US Senate candidates in ME and NC.
Kelly-D will defeat McSally-R in AZ- 47D
Johnston-D ( who is the current Democratic frontrunner for the 2020 CO US Senate Race) will defeat Gardner-R in CO- 48D
Collins(R-ME) will lose to a top tier Democratic challenger- Chellie or Hannah Pingree-D
Tillis(R-NC) will lose to a top tier Democratic challenger- Janet Cowell-D or Jeff Jackson-D or Rachel Hunt-D or Brian Turner-D.
