Any senate candidates this year who could run in 2020

[Pandaguineapig]

Is there anyone who is running for a first senate term this year who could pull an obama/cruz if their party loses the election this year?
 I could see harris, Murphy, or Grayson for the democrats and Young, desantis, or keyser for the Republicans

[Mike Thick]

It depends on how they do in the Senate. I could see Harris or Duckworth (maybe Grayson) running. Murphy might want to spend a little more time in the Senate, given that he'd be under forty on Inauguration Day. It wouldn't surprise me, though.

The Senate candidates sound about right, although I'd add Stutzman. Again, we don't know a thing until they actually do stuff in the Senate.

[Santander]

Sestak has the resume to do it if he manages to win, but he's not a good politician and is still disliked by the establishment. Harris is more likely to run, but inexperience would hurt her.

[Orser67]

I know nothing about Lopez-Cantera, but I imagine a Cuban-American from Florida might have an opening.

For the Dems, definitely Harris and Feingold, maybe Sestak, Duckworth, Cortez Masto, Hassan, and Van Hollen. Also Kander if he wins.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I see a few possibilities from the 2014 class (mostly for the Republicans, because they won everything):

Tom Cotton
Cory Gardner
Joni Ernst
Tim Scott (first time actually elected)

[Mister Mets]

Republicans are playing defense, so there aren't as many possible seats for newcomers.

Kamala Harris. She's already seen as a leader on a key issue (criminal justice reform) and six years as Attorney General of the most populated state do make her seem more qualified than the standard Freshman.

Tammy Duckworth has a compelling story and some eclectic experiences.

Donna Edwards in Maryland is a progressive favorite with a chance of winning the nomination.

Catherine Masto would be a swing state Senator, and the Democratic party's most prominent Hispanic woman.

Maggie Hassan would be a swing state Governor turned Senator.

[Famous Mortimer]

Herman Cain and Ben Carson have shown that the GOP are eager to prove they aren't racist by nominating a Black person. It's just that so far they've been unable to find one who wasn't an idiot. Tim Scott may finally be the candidate they are looking for though.

[Figueira]

Random thought: Charles Boustany for the Republicans

[5280]

Cory Gardner, Joni Ernst, Tim Scott

[Kingpoleon]

Joseph Cao, Jason Kander, Joe Sestak, and Ryan Frazier are all possibilities.

If you are specifically asking who from this cycle (so no one from the 2014 class), then Harris is the only real viable one. She has the money and the right fit demographically to do mount a successful potus campaign only 4 years into her first senate term. Maybe Van Hollen. I don't think duckworth could put one up.

feingold doesn't count - he was in the senate for almost 20 years prior to getting knocked off in 2010.

If you open it up to the class of 14, then you have bunch of republicans who will be running IMO. cotton, ernst, gardner, etc.

[President Johnson]

Senate candidates means, he/she is not in office now?

Kamala Harris may run. Maggie Hassan is another one that comes to my mind.

[msnmllr]

Rob Portman definitely seems like a logical choice, assuming if his age wasn't an issue. May still be a vice presidential candidate though in this election

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Mark Begich will comeback,and defeat Sullivan, As Dems will look to defeating Ernst as well as Tillis
