2020 US Senate Election in AL and CO, Gardner(R-CO) is way more vulnerable than Jones(D-AL).

Jones-AL is a moderate bipartisan Democrat in the mold of Howell Heflin. Heflin who held the same seat Jones currently holds won re-election in 1984 by a wide margin. AL went for Reagan-R in 1984 by a 22 percent margin. Trump-R will carry AL by a 20 to 25 percent margin. Jones(D-AL) is likely to win by a narrow margin.
Gardner-CO is a partisan Republican in the mold of William Armstrong. Armstrong who held the same seat Gardner currently holds won re-election in 1984 by a wide margin. CO went for Reagan-R in 1984 by a 28 percent margin. Trump-R will lose CO by a 5 to 10 percent margin. Gardner(R-CO) is likely to lose by a wide margin.
