These races are, other than WV, the likeliest flips of the cycle. Which incumbent Democratic Senator from a Trump state is likelier to hold on?

Brown. He won by more last time, with less favorable turnout dynamics in Ohio than in Montana. With presidential turnout Montana will be considerably redder than Ohio. That being said, I expect both to lose.

Ohio: Moreno +4 (FLIP)
Montana: Sheehy +7 (FLIP)

I'd rank their GOP opponents like this in terms of candidate quality
1. Dolan
2. Rosendale
Gap
3. LaRose
Another Larger Gap
4. Moreno
5. Sheehy

OH has a stronger GOP field & Brown needs more 'raw' crossover votes than Tester in a more heterogeneous state. On the other hand, it seems like the GOP hasn’t really started going hard after Brown the way they have with Tester.

MT is redder than OH & Tester is (unlike in 2018, where the GOP only made a half-hearted effort when Tester had already defined himself & Rosendale) this cycle's top target for Republicans. MT GOP is also a lot better organized than in 2012 and the traditional MTDEM playbook is starting to wear thin and is just as predictable as in 2020.

These roughly cancel each other out, I think. Probably a negligible difference, although Tester certainly has a lower floor than Brown (think Heitkamp-style loss for Tester vs. McCaskill/Donnelly-style loss for Brown).

Both look similarly strong and Ohio is a more Democratic state, so lean Brown, but high margin of uncertainty when both are relying on overperforming Biden by a lot.

Moreno has all of Sheehy and Rosendale's positives without the negatives(I don't think he's a carpetbagger?)

Brown is likelier to overperform Biden by 8 than Tester is to outperform him by 15.
