If Doug Jones-AL follows Scott Brown-MA lead, What state will Doug Jones run from in 2022?

When Scott Brown (R-MA) lost re-election in 2012, he moved to NH and ran for the US Senate from NH in 2014 against Jeanne Shaheen-D. Brown-R lost to Shaheen-D by a 3 percent margin.
Doug Jones (D-AL) is likely to win the AL US Senate Special Election less than a month from now. Doug Jones could lose re-election in 2020 against a non controversial Republican challenger. If Doug Jones loses re-election in 2020 and does not get picked to head the DOJ by the 46th POTUS- Which state will Doug Jones run for the US Senate seat from in 2022?
AL-Assuming Shelby-R retires or faces a tough primary challenge by a right wing conservative challenger- ie Lugar-IN 2012. ? or
GA-Assuming Isakson-R retires or faces a tough primary challenge by a right wing conservative challenger? GA is more Democratic friendly than GA.

Alexander-TN and Cochran-MS are up for re-election in 2020. Doug Jones will be seeking re-election in 2020 from AL.
Blackburn-TN and Wicker-MS are up for re-election in 2024.

Okay, I can think of two who did that: Robert Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, and each of them had huge name recognition.
