Udall and Peters US Senate seats are up for re-election in 2020. They can choose to not seek re-election to focus all of their attention on unseating Trump. Democrats have plenty of top tier candidates to choose from to win the NM US Senate seat
Hector Balderas or Ben Lujan and the MI US Senate Seat Jennifer Granholm or Mark Schauer . If Udall and Peters decide to run for re-election and the Presidency, Democrats are going to occupy the MI and NM governorship.

Tim Ryan-OH says no to 2018 OH Governors Race, Any chance he is targeting the 2022 US Senate
Races in OH?
1)Brown-OH gets elected President or Vice President in 2021, Special election for that seat takes place in 2022.
2)Portman is up for re-election in 2022, Ryan could challenge Portman.
US Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) should be mentioned as a potential 2020 Democratic candidate.
He is a United States Senator from MI- a battleground state in the Midwest.
He got elected to the US Senate in 2014-a Republican wave election year by a double digit margin against a top tier statewide elected official.
He served in the US Navy during the Persian Gulf War.
He represented a swing Congressional district from 2009-2013
He has a 90% overall progressive punch score/85% crucial vote progressive punch score.
Peters-MI could carry all of the Clinton 2016 states plus MI,PA,and WI.
2018 TX US Senate Race- Cruz has a 38 percent approval rating /20 percent approval rating among
Independents.
TX is the third seat Democrats could pick up assuming a top tier Democratic candidate runs (Castro twins, Wendy Davis, or Beto O'Rourke-D) and Matthew Dowd runs as an Independent and Cruz -R loses in the Republican primary to Louie Gohmert.
The first and second seats Democrats pick up is NV-(Dina Titus, Kate Marshall or Steve Horsford) and AZ (Kristen Synema) and Flake-R loses in the Republican primary. Democrats need to hold onto IN and ND-the most vulnerable Democratic US Senate seats up in 2018.
Democrats need to target
MS (Jim Hood-D) to challenge Roger Wicker-R.
UT(Jim Matheson-D) Hatch-R loses in the primary and John Huntsman and/or Evan McMullen runs as an Independent.
