To have any real shot of taking the senate. The 2020 cycle was crazy; lots of money raised for opponents of much hated incumbents like McConnell, Collins, and Graham.

Aside from smith, the other two are from bright red states so it was always an uphill battle.
Meanwhile there were a few senate seats Dems took by a slimmer margin, which should have been more comfortable.

My hope is we see more money going toward NC and AK. Both are very winnable. I think Ossoff already has raised a lot so he may be ok.
