BUT - there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Trump. Every race will include some amount of a referendum on Trump. With the virus & the chinese tariffs, farmers and rural areas have taken it in the shorts. Remember how Trump policy allowed oil companies to quit using ethanol? That bankrupted some also

Rural hospitals are in tough shape due to Trump policies.

All that to say it will be tough, but it is soable.
