They are absolutely in a win win siutation on their loyalty to the GOP. They have nothing to worry about if the GOP take over the Senate. They will have helped the cause regarding the filibuster and the voting rights. The GOP will give them a nice spot in their party and they will flip to Republican.
This is why they have to be primaried but I really don’t expect them to wait on a majority vote come November. They will flip anyway. They will either flip because the heat is hot in the kitchen of politics sooner than 2022 or right afterwards. They will not remain in the dem party. I truly believe that,
They are roadblocks to the democratic agenda and they like their seats so they will flip any way they can to hold those seats. I have no idea what to do about it and I bet neither does the leadership. They keep playing footsie with them in hopes they can maintain the majority for the time being.
Don’t be surprised if breaking news one morning claims these two have etched their way into the history books by losing the majority before 2022 by flipping.
