If NC had a Senate race in 2018, Dems would have won it. Unfortunately for Dems the seats have been up in the wrong years. Dems will spend heavily on next year's race but they're underdogs with the lack of a top tier candidate and the state's partisanship.
Dems have exactly top tier officeholder and that's Roy Cooper. Since Dems failed to win the Lieutenant Governor's race, him running is completely out of the question.
State Senator Don Davis would be a strong candidate but him running is not going to happen. He'd never win a primary.
Davis's stance on abortion ensures he'd be doomed in a statewide primary.

Grassley's commitment to the 99 county tour is impressive. It's part of his longevity in Iowa politics over the years. He shows up in every corner of the state.
He has been doing this every year since he first ran for the Senate in 1980.
The 99 county tour is so popular that other Iowa politicians have sought to do their own. Both Joni Ernst and Kim Reynolds do it too.

The Republican resistance to the $2,000 checks idea is interesting. Trump has brought in a ton of new voters to the GOP but most mainstream Republicans still balk at embracing the more populist economic policies these voters like.
Trump has had very little success in this regard. He has by and large been unable to get mainstream Republicans to embrace his economic policies.
Even Republican Senators like Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, who represent states where Trump did better than your average Republican, aren't rushing to embrace this stuff.

The Alaska legislature convenes in just over a month and neither chamber has a working majority yet. ktoo.org/2020/12/18/wit…
Actually less than a month. The legislature will convene on January 19.
The House is currently deadlocked 20-20. 20 members have agreed to serve in the majority coalition and the other 20 members are all Republicans.

Those are the maximum margins a federal Democrat are gonna win by in those states. Of course you know that.
@MichaelDuncan is (purposely) leaving out a tiny little detail. His party spent $0 in those states because they're not competitive.
When you say x race was closer than Kentucky, you're not to be taken seriously. People who use that comparison are arguing in bad faith because they're purposely ignoring partisanship.
