Best and worst winning/losing Senate campaigns this cycle?

[politicallefty]

I think Jon Ossoff was probably the Best Winning in 2020. He beat an incumbent statewide a couple years after a subpar performance in a special House election in 2017 when Democrats were supposedly enraged and fired up. I personally didn't object to his political obituary after that, but he certainly proved me wrong as the campaign progressed. On the other hand, while I certainly don't want to take anything away from Warnock's win, he was facing an untested candidate who boasted she was more conservative than Atilla the Hun.

As for this year:

Best Winning: John Fetterman (D-PA) & Mark Kelly (D-AZ)
Best Losing: Cheri Beasley (D-NC)
Worst Winning: JD Vance (R-OH) & Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Worst Losing: Blake Masters (R-AZ)

I can't give Chuck Schumer any credit for his own race when it's his worst since his first election in 1998. He should've had no problem breaking 60%.

Going back, I'd probably list it like this:

2020
Best Winning: Jon Ossoff (D-GA)
Best Losing: Mark Ronchetti (R-NM)
Worst Winning: Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS)
Worst Losing: Sara Gideon (D-ME) & Cal Cunningham (R-NC)

2018

2016
Best Winning: Ron Johnson (R-WI)

2014

2012

2010
Best Winning: Harry Reid (D-NV) & Mark Kirk (R-IL)

2008
Best Winning: Kay Hagan (D-NC)
Best Losing: Bruce Lunsford (D-KY) (& maybe Gordon Smith (R-OR))
Worst Winning: Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Worst Losing: Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) & Steve Pearce (R-NM)

2006
Best Winning: Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
Best Losing: Harold Ford (D-TN)
Worst Winning: N/A (not much to see, tbh)
Worst Losing: George Allen (R-VA) & Mike DeWine (R-OH) (Rick Santorum was written off very early.)

I might've got carried away on this.
