Even as the last Senatorial races are decided, I can expect attention to go to the Senatorial election of 2020 which of course coincides with the Presidential election. Polls of 2018 are effectively moot because the electoral results are now all that matter.

Note well that only eleven states have Democrats up for re-election, and of those two, only two are in states that Trump won. One is Alabama, where Doug Jones seems to have no real chance of winning re-election. The other is Michigan, which looks like a very solid D state after the 2018 midterm election -- and, besides, Gary Peters is the only Democrat elected to an open seat or having defeated an incumbent Republican Senator in the 2014 wave.

But -- Corey Gardner (D, Colorado) and Susan Collins (R, Maine) are in states that Republicans have trouble in. Joni Ernst (D, IA) is in a state with three of four Congressional districts that went D in 2018. Could Beto O'Rourke have Senator John Cornyn (R, TX) as a target in 2020? Republicans may have some problems in Georgia and North Carolina. Arizona has an appointed Senator whose seat might be up for grabs in 2020.
