38. Super invested? You mean analyzing this from a political angle?

I've said multiple times that if his numbers crater and he's on track to lose his seat, then he needs to go. The same can be said of Menendez as well if NJ voters have a negative impression of his trial. No senator is too important to be replaced on the ballot if it looks like they're going to lose their seat.

If his numbers stay up and he looks like he's going to coast to reelection, then he needs to stay.

I care more about a myriad of Democratic issues that will only be legislated if we are in power more than I care about any single individual senator.
