1)AZ special(Kelly-D)
2)CO(Hickenlooper-D)
3)NC(Cunningham-D)

To cover the loss in AL(Jones-D)
4/5)One or Both of the GA US Senate seats(Ossoff-D and/Warnock-D)

Taking a victory lap before you win is flat out stupid. And in this context it’s dangerous

We won the polls once before. It got us to here

Voter suppression is ramping up. Chaos on election night looms. There is no reason anyone should feel complacent

It’s not over till it’s over. Don’t pretend otherwise

Phone bank. GOTV. But don’t imagine we’ve won anything

The last two look like they're going to be very difficult, and GA and IA aren't shoe-ins by any stretch.

I think we'll take the Senate, but it's far from certain at the moment.
