Which previous US Senate Election cycle the 2018,2020,and 2022 US Senate Election cycle resemble?

2018 will be like 1998/2002- The Political Party not in the White House(Democratic Party) loses couple of seats(FL,IN,MO,and ND)and picks up couple of seats(AZ,NV,TN,and TX)- Democrats break even or have a net lose of 2 seats depending on what happens in FL,TN and TX.
2020- if Trump-R wins re-election- 1996( The incumbent party(Republican Party) has a net loss of at least couple of seats in the US Senate. Republicans lose AZ special,CO,and NC but pick up AL.
2020- if Trump-R loses re-election- 2008( The opposition party(Democratic Party) has a net gain of at least half of dozen of seats in the US Senate.
Democrats pick up AZ special,CO,GA,IA,ME if Collins-R retires or loses in the primary,MT-if Bullock-D or Schweitzer-D runs,NC,OK if Henry-D or Boren-D runs, and TX but lose AL.
2022- if Trump-R is in the White House- 2006/2014- The incumbent party(Republican Party) loses at least half of dozen of seats in the US Senate. Republicans lose FL,GA,IA,NC,OH,PA,and WI.
2022- if Democrats occupy the White House- 2002- The incumbent party(Democratic Party) picks up couple of seats in the US Senate. Democrats hold onto vulnerable seats in AZ,CO,NV,and NH and pick up NC,PA,and WI.
