Had Tom Harkin(IA),John Walsh(MT),Tim Johnson(SD),and Jay Rockefeller(WV) not retired in 2014,

Would they have won re-election in 2014 and 2020?
I would say that Tom Harkin(IA) would still be serving in the US Senate because the Democratic nominee in the 2014 IA US Senate Election Bruce Braley made a lot of gaffes. Tom Harkin would have defeated Joni Ernst in 2014 and defeated any Republican in 2020 despite Joe Biden’s defeat in IA by an 8 percent margin.
