1. 42. booker will be running for reelection?

or might senator christie (r) be possible?

which of our president/vp candidates will be replaced in the senate by repub governors?

i'm also not overjoyed by our prospects in texas or georgia, but, i suppose spring is a time for optimism.

i will be pleasantly surprised if our ppresident and vp can inspire enough democrats to the polls to take those seats. we must choose wisely.

4. The current Governor of NJ is a Democrat- Phil Murphy.

If Booker-NJ decides not to seek re-election to his NJ US Senate seat in 2020.
US Representative Donald Norcross(NJ-1cd) or Josh Gottheimer(NJ-5cd) will be the likely Democratic nominee.
The current Democratic Presidential candidates in the US Senate that will be replaced by Republican governor's are:
Bernie Sanders(VT),Elizabeth Warren(MA),Sherrod Brown(OH),Chris Van Hollen(MD), Kyrsten Sinema(AZ), and Maggie Hassan(NH).

Democrats need to recruit top tier US Senate candidates in ME and NC.
Kelly-D will defeat McSally-R in AZ- 47D
Johnston-D ( who is the current Democratic frontrunner for the 2020 CO US Senate Race) will defeat Gardner-R in CO- 48D
Collins(R-ME) will lose to a top tier Democratic challenger- Chellie or Hannah Pingree-D
Tillis(R-NC) will lose to a top tier Democratic challenger- Janet Cowell-D or Jeff Jackson-D or Rachel Hunt-D or Brian Turner-D.
