5. Grassley is up for reelection this year

If there is a Democrat running against him I honestly don't know who it is.

Assuming he wins in November, and it's overwhelmingly likely, he would be 89 in 2022 when he would next be up for reelection. After this year there really is only one more opportunity, in all likelihood, to get a candidate to run against him.

However, assuming Braindead is still governor at the time (and he is "Governor for Life&quot I think Grassley probably retires sometime late in his next term, so that his named successor can run as an incumbent -- possibly his grandson Pat.
