Senate retirement and resignation preferences, March 2018


Update: Updated on March 6, 2018 because of move into new year (Cochran is retiring, which is the 25th best retirement for Dems, because it gives them an extra shot at that seat, but they may have been better off without it. Winning it will be tough and Cochran was likely to miss many votes over the next 9 months, meaning Dems would only have to flip one Republican).
