    I know everyone hates him, but without him Dems lose the senate and can’t appoint judges

    Also Trump won every single county in WV, I don’t know if any other “D” candidate could win there

      He can’t hold his seat anymore regardless. Dems and Dem caucusing Is are 51-49 so they can lose him and still have the Senate with Harris as VP. Realistically, at least one other D is going down on the 2024 senate map, so they’ll need to bump off Cruz to compensate and keep it 50-50.
