2020 downballot predictions

[LoneStarDem]

Governorships 2020:
NC: I think Cooper wins reelection by double digits considering he's NEVER lost an election ever in the Tar Heel State.

MT (Open): GOP picks up this one since the MT Dems don't have a strong contender to maintain control of the MT Governor's Residence (they've held it for 16 years since 2005).

NH: Sununu wins reelection to a 3rd term, but whether he runs for the United States Senate in 2022 is another question.

VT: Depends on if Scott's popularity remains high for him to get a 3rd term.

United States Senate:

AL: Jones loses somewhere between 6 to 16 percentage points. Everyone in the world knows his days are numbered considering the weakness of the AL Dems on the statewide level & getting wiped out in the AL State Legislature.

AZ (Special): McSally wins & likely wins a full 6-year term in 2022.

CO: DEM Pick-Up. I wonder how long before Hickenlooper gets pressured to run for this US Senate seat because I don't see his Presidential campaign going anywhere.

IA: Ernst wins very handily as the Hawkeye State is trending further & further Red.

ME: I think 2020 is Collins' last political campaign & when she retires, the seat is going DEM in 2026.

MA: Markey is safe.

MT: Depends on what Bullock decides.

MI: Peters wins (56% to 40%).

MN: Smith wins (54% to 42%).

NH: I'll be shocked if NH Governor Chris Sununu (R) gets influenced by the Trump White House to take down Shaheen. After all, we did see Trump successfully persuade Scott into running against Nelson in FL last year, which Scott won.

NM: Udall wins by 25 percentage points. I'm feeling like 2020 is his last.

TX: Cornyn wins his 7th statewide election victory in a row. He'll be there until he kicks the bucket & I still believe he wants to become US Senate Majority Leader.

VA: Warner wins easily with 59% of the statewide vote for 3rd 6-year term.
