50 or 51 Dem Senators wouldnt make much difference during the next two years given the House goes R.

…stay home.

They were already holding their noses - but they don’t want to have that embarrassing mess going to Senate and embarrassing the GOP further.

A lot of republican voted for Walker only for the senate. When that is taken out of the equation, some of them won't show up. The 2% libertarians votes would most definitely not show up for Walker if Senate is not up for grab.

We need to get NV so Warnock's race would get much easier.

Since Kemp was "in like Flynn", it's "mission accomplished" in terms of state/local politics, so there would be no need for many of them to bother with just one person on the ballot.

Republicans weee holding their noses and voting for him because the Senate was on the line. They’ll stay home in December without the Senate on the line.

At this point does money truly matter? Will it effect Dem turnout since we’d already have control of the senate?
