And by the way, five current Senators (even considering a Jones’ defeat at November)? Do you think Democrats are so willing to jeopardy their eventual small Senate Majority?

The other 4 Senators are in Democratic strongholds that are polling high for Biden, so I wouldn't worry about the Dems losing those seats.

To be fair to @Pokemon Master their have been other post that involve current politics and hasn’t been moved as they don’t turn into chats. If people would like to discuss them they can quote the list and bring it up in the chat Forum.

Massachusetts and New Hampshire have Republican Governors, so they can nominate Republican Senators to fill the vacancy and jeopardy an eventual Dem majority for at least one year. And if Charlie Baker or Chris Sununu decide or are pushed by the party to run? They won statewide election by good margin for a decade, they could do it again. And Biden’s strategy is always safe is better.

(Alternate) George W. Bush Administration During 2001-2005
President:
George W. Bush (Rep.)
Vice President: John Danforth (Rep.)
Secretary of Defense: Tom Ridge (Rep.)


Under this cast of characters, Bush has a much more sane response to 9/11 and doesn't invade Iraq. The tax cuts introduced are not as drastic as they were IOTL (Cheney designed them) and Sarbanes-Oxley is much tougher. This doesn't get rid of the 2008 Recession, but it does make it much more manageable. In 2005, the US manages to get Osama bin Laden. Bush also manages to get through his proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007. Bush isn't seen as the best president ever by the times he's finished his time in office, but he's also not widely loathed like he is today.

What if you flipped it around and made him a worse President?

To be honest, I don't think you can make Bush's Presidency much worse than it already was. Iraq, the Recession, and Katrina were all serious dumpster fires. If you remove Dick Cheney from the equation however, I think Bush wouldn't end up making a lot of the serious mistakes he made IOTL. Maybe instead of an Iraq invasion, he simply continues enforcement of the No-Fly Zones.
