Could Democrats regain control of the US Senate in 2022 with a Democrat in the White House?

In 2020- Democrats win the 2020 US Presidential Election by winning all the states they won in 2016 plus MI,PA,and WI. Democrats will have a net gain of 1 seat in the US Senate- Lose AL(Jones-D) and pick up CO(Gardner-R) and AZ(McSally-R).
In 2022- Democrats will need a net gain of 2 seats with a Democratic Vice President breaking the tie.
The Democratic held US Senate seats up in 2022 that are vulnerable or competitive are AZ(Whoever unseats McSally-R in 2020?), CO(Bennet-D), NV(Cortez Masto-D), and NH(Hassan-D). Democrats will hold onto AZ,CO,NV,and NH and pick up PA(Toomey-D) and WI(OPEN Johnson-R).
