Then Alaska and Ohio, where Democrats got pretty good recruits that are leaning toward Republicans at this point, but could be ones that Democrats hope to play in.

some of those places, not to mention redistricting in Texas and seeing how those districts shake out, how new people come in or don't.

And also the Senate race, because there's a primary coming up in that Senate race very shortly next month.
