New Jersey
Failed Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Cory Booker is running for re-election in 2020 to another Senate term.[33] His seat has been ranked as safe.[3]

Republican primary
While Wyoming's At-large representative Liz Cheney was initially a potential to run for the Senate seat, she later declined, preferring to run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.[51]
Potential vulnerable seats
Georgia (special)
Georgia will hold a special election to fiil seat of Johnny Isakson who resigned in December 2019. Governor Brian Kemp appointed Kelly Loeffler to serve as Isakson's replacement, effective January 6, 2020, until the special election. Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia's 9th district is running.
Loeffler, being the incumbent junior senator from Georgia, is running for election to a full Senate term.
Republican primary
Loeffler, backed by the GOP establishment,[52] is facing a primary challenged by representative Collins.[53] According to a poll by the Public Policy Polling in December 2019, the preference for Collins is three times greater than the preference for Loeffler.[54] In February 2020, Collins has released an ad strongly criticizing Loeffler for being backed by the anti-Trump[55] Club for Growth[56] as well as another one criticizing Loeffler for backing RINO Mitt Romney in 2012.[57] This, in turn, led the GOP establishment and the Club for Growth to further their opposition to Collins.[58][59]
Iowa
Joni Ernst, the pro-Trump, strongly conservative junior senator from Iowa, is running for re-election in 2020.[60]
Michigan
Gary Peters, the incumbent Democrat senator from Michigan, is facing re-election in a projected swing state that voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
John E. James
Among the Republicans running to oppose Peters is movement conservative John E. James,[61] a U.S. combat veteran who ran against Debbie Stabenow in 2018 and lost[62] due to Stabenow's strong backing by Michigan farmers that generally vote Republican.[63]
Gary Peters
Peters, a Democrat partisan leftist who voted to remove Trump[64] and is suspected of supporting Medicare for All,[65][66] is unknown among 36% of Michiganders, according to a poll in mid-2019.[67]
Tossup elections
Arizona (special election)
Martha McSally, the current Republican junior senator from Arizona who was gubernatorially appointed, will be running for election to a full term in 2020.[68] A conservative-turned-establishmentarian moderate[69]-turned pro-Trump conservative,[70] McSally is expected to face a close election in normally Republican Arizona that voted for Kyrsten Sinema over her in 2018 by a margin of less than 3%.[71]
Martha McSally's campaign
Martha McSally, who has shifted towards supporting Donald Trump since after the 2016 presidential election, has been seen by some as becoming more thoroughly conservative, especially after calling a CNN reporter a "liberal hack".[72] Her first campaign ad was one criticizing her potential left-wing opponent Mark Kelly[73] for supporting the impeachment coup against Trump.[74]
President Trump's visit at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona on February 19, 2020 included McSally's appearance to help boost Republican re-election efforts, with McSally receiving an endorsement from the president and drawing applause from the crowd as a populist, conservative patriot.[75]
Colorado
Cory Gardner, the incumbent conservative Republican senator from Colorado with some RINO leanings, is running for re-election in what is considered by many to be the most random, vulnerable tossup.[76] Gardner's approval ratings have remained relatively steady, with a poll in January 2020 finding roughly equal approval/disapproval numbers.[77]
Republican endorsements for Cory Gardner
On August 19, 2019, Ambassador Nikki Haley made a visit to Colorado to praise Gardner for his common-sense regulatory policies and his effective bipartisanship efforts in the U.S. Senate to unite both parties on certain non-partisan issues.[78]
At a Trump rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado on February 20, 2020, Gardner made an appearance where he spoke briefly to strongly emphasize on Donald Trump's many great achievements and rebuked left-wing Democrats for being too radical.[79]
Gardner is also supported by Vice President Mike Pence, who said that the senator has done much to help advance the Trump agenda.[80]
Maine
Susan Collins, the four-term RINO senior senator from liberal Maine, is running for re-election in 2020.[81] She has been unpopular in her home state after voting with Republicans to confirm Brett Kavanaugh amidst the smear against the latter, having her approval rating tank[82] and eliciting condemnation from the left-wing group Occupy Democrats.[83] Further disdain from liberals like Stephen King[84] and those in Maine may cause lead the general election from anywhere from leaning Republican to a tossup,[85] a prediction that several polls have affirmed.[5]
It was reported on February 18, 2020 that, according to a poll, Collins was almost tied with potential Democrat opponent Sara Gideon.[86]
Having voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and many other pro-life judicial nominees, Collins was reportedly ditched by Planned Parenthood, an organization that has, in the past, endorsed her numerous times.[87]
Republican primary
Collins is reportedly, as of February 1, 2020, running unopposed in the Republican primaries.[88] Her re-election bid was endorsed by moderate liberal Democrat Joe Manchin.[89] In addition, Collins is backed by Lindsey Graham[90] and Donald Trump[91] after her refusal to cave into the liberal hysteria surrounding the Kavanaugh smear.
Democratic primary
Democrat Sara Gideon, the current Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, announced her Senate campaign on June 24, 2019.[92] Gideon, with a voting record even more liberal than Susan Collin's, has pushed for abortion "rights" and Medicaid expansion within Maine.[93]
Democratic primary candidate Bre Kidman, a Bernie backer who claims to be "non-binary", unveiled a guillotine as the logo for her US Senate campaign.[94] When grilled about the use of a guillotine as campaign symbolism, Kidman claimed that the guillotine was not meant to be taken literally, despite its notorious use as a method of execution by the Left against its opponents during the French Revolution; Kidman was subsequently criticized on her Twitter account for what her critics called a poor taste campaign stunt at best and a not-so-veiled threat of violence against opponents and critics at worst.[95]
North Carolina
Thom Tillis, a Feinstein gun control bill-backing[96] RINO who opposed Donald Trump's firing of an impeachment "witness" out of fear of "looking bad",[97] is running for re-election in swing state North Carolina that may be a tossup, both in the Republican primary and, if he wins it, the general election. Tillis' approval rating was reported in July 2019 to be a mere 33% within North Carolina,[98] and polling in January 2020 found that he was trailing a potential Democrat opponent by 2%.[99]
Republican primary
Tillis, with his RINO record, was initially facing a primary challenged by conservative, pro-Trump Sandy Smith.[100] However, Smith later changed course and decided to run for North Carolina's 1st district instead.[101]
Projected seat flips
Alabama
Doug Jones, the left-wing Democrat senator from Alabama, is running for election to a full term in 2020.[102] His net approval rating prior his vote to remove[103] Donald Trump was 2%, which had fell by 20% since he took office.[104] Voting to remove a president that won his home state of Alabama in 2016 by 28% of the vote,[105] Jones is expected to lose the general election in November.[3]
Republican primary
Among the Republicans running for the Senate seat are former Attorney General Jeff Sessions,[106] representative Bradley Byrne,[107] former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore,[108] and football coach Tommy Tuberville.[109] Byrne and Tuberville have criticized Sessions for his weak leadership as the Attorney General under Donald Trump, with an ad by Byrnes stating: "And Hillary still ain't in jail."[110]
Establishment media/Democrat collusion
In July 8, 2019, an article by the "progressive" site "The American Independent" was published criticizing Republican senator Thom Tillis for praising Donald Trump after the latter's "racist rally in North Carolina".[111] The article claimed that Trump was being a "racist" for rebuking the anti-Semitic Ilhan Omar, despite the obvious irony that the writer of the article was the one who was obsessed over race.
On January 24, 2020, a biased article by the left-wing "Indy Week" was published to attack Tillis over liberal trolls smearing the senator on his Twitter account.[112]
An Arizona Central "opinion" article was written on January 27, 2020 as a strawman attack against Martha McSally for correctly calling out CNN reporter Manu Raju a "liberal hack".[113] Having an extremely skewed headline, the article was filled with conspiracy theory assumptions and was an example of the lamestream media's imposing of a Morton's fork standard on conservative public officeholders for anything they say. In addition, the article did not mention Raju's long, biased record of being what McSally called a "liberal hack".[1] [2]
A hysteric CNN liberal ran an op-ed "opinion" article on January 28, 2020 targeting Joni Ernst, claiming that she "gave away" the Republican's "disgraceful game [against Joe Biden]".[114] As typical with liberal media bias, the author assumed mind-reading powers to "conclude" the supposed "true intentions" of Donald Trump's "quid pro quo". The article did not mention Biden's self-admitted quid pro joe (see this video (warning: foul language)), instead making a conspiracy theory rant about Trump's "corruption" and having to bring up irrelevant topics to attempt justifying its talking points.
The mainstream media have tried to influence the upcoming Senate elections via heavy coverage of the Senate Republicans, such as focusing on the GOP blockade of Democrat partisan "election security" bills.[115]
As concurrent with liberal media bias, an article by the Navy Times ran a skewed headline saying "Sen. McSally ad blasts Navy vet running against her"[116] despite McSally also having served in the U.S. military.
An article by The New Indian Express ran a headline skewed in favor of Sara Gideon, saying she is an "Indian-origin politician".[117] Although her father was an immigrant from India,[118] Gideon's mother is from Armenia and she was born in Rhode Island, thus making the "Indian-origin" claim somewhat misleading.
After Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on February 14, 2020 that 395 partisan Democrat bills passed by House will not pass through the Senate, an article by the Mitch Derangement Syndrome-consumed Newsweek called the senator the 'Grim Reaper'.[119]
The left-wing, hysteric Salon ran a biased article against Joni Ernst for her fiscally conservative viewpoints regarding Medicare and Medicaid, saying she's willing to "push our families into poverty with a smile."[120] In actuality, Ernst merely addressed the focus on controlling non-discretionary spending and emphasized on "honoring the commitments".[121]
An article by MSN on February 19, 2020 ran a headline claiming that Mark Kelly was ahead of Martha McSally by 6.7 points for the upcoming Senate special election in Arizona, citing a poll by the High Grounds Public Affairs Consultants.[122] The poll was an outlier compared to three other polls that were conducted between late 2019 and January 2020,[123] as it had a margin of error at ±4.9% and a sample size of only n=400,[124] and thus could be unreliable and inaccurate.
On February 20, 2020, an article by the Detroit Free Press was published citing a Quinnipiac poll which "concluded" that Gary Peters was leading John James by 6 percentage points.[125] Although the sample size was at n=845 and the margin of error was at a moderate ±3.4%, the partisan breakdown of the polling sample stated that only 28% of the respondents were Republicans, compared to 31% that were Democrats and 35% that were Independents.
Articles by the AFP, The New York Times, and Vanity Fair on February 20-21, 2020 repeated the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory talking points made by "lawmakers" who concurred with potential Deep state allies that have claimed that Russia was supposedly "meddling in our elections" in 2020.[126]
Left-wing smears
- See also: Liberal Smear Machine, Moscow Mitch Syndrome
Attacks against Cory Gardner
A far-left site called "F*** Cory Gardner" has been created to smear the senator amidst the upcoming election in Colorado.[127]
Attacks and smears against Martha McSally
Phony "conservatives" colluding with the Democrat Party have tried smearing Martha McSally, such as one video by an anti-Trump website calling itself "The Lincoln Project".[128] The video, in resemblance of mainstream fake news, claimed that McSally lost in 2018 "badly" (McSally lost by 2.4%) and that John McCain was a "hero" (McCain betrayed fellow POWs[129]). It is also important to note that the website, despite supposedly and seemingly standing up for justice and integrity, includes the bigoted George T. Conway III among its advisors.[130]
A website calling itself "Honest Arizona" made cherry-picked, deceptively misleading claims about McSally, such as saying that she allegedly voted "twice" to cut Medicare.[131] This is likely a parallel to Kyrsten Sinema's 2018 campaign's claim that McSally allegedly voted to cut Social Security and Medicare funding,[132] something that even the liberal PolitiFact only deems "half true",[133] as McSally's votes on certain bills may indirectly lead to Medicare cuts and Social Security restructuring, although that would only have a lessened effect on the already unsustainable programs. In addition, it is important to note that McSally voted in favor of HR 849,[134] a bill that would repeal the ObamaCare-established Independent Payment Advisory Board, also known as the IPAB, which is a bureaucratic fifteen-member board that is able to make recommendations on Medicare cuts without congressional approval.[135] Many critics considered the IPAB to be a "death panel".[136]
