Peltola (D-AK) cannot defeat Murkowski or Sullivan IMHO, barring some weird splitting of the RW vote
Beshear (D-KY) has a chance to defeats McTurtle's replacement Rethug in 2026, if he chooses to run (if he wins the Governorship again I do not see him running for the Senate in 2026 though, but I could be wrong on that)
Bel Edwards (D-LA) has a slight chance in 2026 or 2028, but Senate is much harder for a Dem to win in LA than Gov is
Mucarsel Powell (D-FL) FL is Red now and will remain so for some time, I do not seeing us winning a Senate seat there for a long time. I also do not see her as a strong candidate anyway.
Allred (D-TX) I do not seeing us winning a Senate seat in Texas for a long time, plus TX is racist AF.
Cooper (D-NC) yes he would have a chance
Kelly (D-TX) I do not seeing us winning a Senate seat in Texas for a long time, bit I think he would have a better chance than Allred, as TX is so fucking racist
Jackson (D-NC) yes, he would have a chance
Godlewski(D-WI) yes, she would have a chance
Golden (D-ME) (and a No Labels Problem Solvers Caucus member) Likely is too conservative to win the Democratic primary
Golden was one of two Democrats to vote against the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
On May 24, 2023, Golden was one of only two House Democrats, along with Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, to vote with Republicans to overturn President Biden's student loan debt cancellation plan.
Golden was the lone House Democrat to vote against the Build Back Better Act.
On January 31, 2023, Golden was among seven Democrats to vote for H.R.497:Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, a bill that would lift COVID-19 vaccine mandates for healthcare workers.
On February 1, 2023, Golden was among 12 Democrats to vote for a resolution to end the COVID-19 national emergency.
Golden was one of four Democrats who voted with the majority of House Republicans to pass the annual defense policy bill, which included provisions prohibiting Pentagon spending on abortion and transgender surgeries.
Golden was the only Democrat to vote against the Bipartisan Background Checks Act to expand background checks on gun purchases and one of two House Democrats, along with Ron Kind of Wisconsin, to vote against the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, designed to close the so-called Charleston loophole.
In 2022, Golden was one of two Democrats, the other being lame duck Kurt Schrader of Oregon, to vote against raising the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21.
