If Cortez Masto loses, Dems probably are losing four senate seats and falling to 46 seats.  This means that Dems probably don’t win back the senate until sometime in the 2030s.

If Biden wins in 2024. Maybe it happens in 2026 or 2030 if he loses. That would give Republicans 8 years in the majority.

The Senate hasn't really had a Dominant Party since the 70s and even then, there were enough conservative Democrats to keep it from being a super liberal body. The last and perhaps only time where there was a permanent right-wing majority was the 1920s.

If Biden loses in 2024, Dems potentially lose six or seven senate seats, that would put them at 39 or 40 seats.  That hole would take several cycles to dig out of.

It took Republicans only 8 years and believe me, if there is any fight left in the Democratic Party, 2026 and 2030 would be really hard for the GOP. They will have to defend their record on privatizing Health Care, Social Security, and all sorts of new massive right-wing social engineering programs that can only be passed with large senate majorities and a SCOTUS supermajority.
