Bold 2020 Predictions

-A red state senate Democrat dies/retires/switches parties making the Dems path to a senate majority very difficult

The only red state Dem senators left are Manchin, Tester and Jones - maybe Brown at a push. Jones is DOA anyway. Tester and Brown aren't switching parties. So either Manchin switches parties, or he dies? Or Brown dies?

Maybe it's not that either die, but like Biden puts Brown in his cabinet. I don't know what it is, but I feel like one of Tester, Manchin, or Jones won't be in the senate come 2021

Again, the only one that even theoretically makes sense would be Tester for something like Agriculture or Interior, and that Montana seat is just too valuable for Biden to put him in cabinet.
