How long would have US Senators Bob Graham(FL) and John Breaux(LA) lasted if they have not retired?
Graham(D-FL) and Breau
D-LA) decided to retire in 2024. Both of their US Senate seats went Republican due to GWB’s coattails. If Graham(D-FL) and Breau D-LA) ran for re-election in 2004, they would won re-election by a double digit margin. They are both politically and personally popular. How would they have done if they ran for re-election in 2010,2016,and 2022?
In FL Bob Graham-D would have defeated Mel Martinez-R and Marco Rubio-R.
In LA John Breaux-D would have defeated David Vitter-R and John Kennedy-R.
