1./ I know we hoped and many expected that Dems would flip the Senate. I hear the media saying that the fact the Republicans (almost surely) have kept the Senate proves that R Senators didn't lose support by sticking with & enabling Trump. But here are some numbers...
2./ Maine: Collins got 68.5% in 2014 & 51.1% in 2020

Georgia: Perdue got 52.9% in 2014. He's under 50% now and is forced into a runoff.

Colorado: Garner got 48.2% in 2016. He got 43.3% in 2020 & lost

Collins lost 17.4 points of support.
3./ It takes a lot for a Senator who won by 68.5% in her last election to drop all the way down to 51.1%

TX: Cornyn got 61.6% in 2014. He dropped 8 points down to 53.6% in 2020
