I've arranged the infamous 43 US Senators who voted to acquit the Predatory Criminal Donald Trump on 2/13/2021, according to the year they will face re-election.
Anyone who won their last election with 48% to 61% of the votes is highlighted in boldface and should be considered vulnerable to a quality opponent who knows how to campaign.
Other notes may also be boldfaced that could be relevant, such as advanced age (80+), notable medical issues, and those who've announced they won't run for re-election.
Note: Other Senators who voted to convict Donald Trump but also potentially vulnerable due to advanced age include these (age shown is the age they'll be at their reelection):
Feinstein/CA (91/2024), Sanders/VT (83/2024), Leahy/VT (82/2022), Durbin/IL (82/2026), Cardin/MD (81/2024), King/ME (80/2024), Markey/MA (80/2026) and Shaheen/NH would turn 80 in her first month in office if re-elected in 2026.
I mention this because 5 Republicans will be 80 or older when re-elected but 7 Democrats and 1 Independent will. For some of these, recruiting younger candidates makes sense short term and long term.
The youngest Senators by current age are Hawley/MO (41), Cotton/AR (43), Sinema/AZ (44), Murphy/CT (47), Schatz/HI (48), Young/IN (48), Heinrich/NM (49) and Sasse/NE (will be 50 in 9 days).

Senators Burr/NC, Cassidy/LA, Collins/ME, Murkowski/AK, Romney/UT, Sasse/NE and Toomey/PA are apparently the only 7 Republicans displaying honesty and courage in the Senate.
Pretty weak for a major party that was ready to convict Nixon when they knew what integrity was.
This weakling party insulted the Capitol police and Capitol staffers, continue to endanger them and has chosen to betray and endanger every member of the House and Senate.
Every citizen of the United States has been put at greater risk in national security (foreign threats), public safety (covid-19), domestic security (White nationalist terrorism), and from authoritarianism (collapse of its democratic republic), especially this past year. All due to the dishonesty, criminality, incompetence, inhumanity, and insurrectionist actions of Donald Trump.
And the infamous 43 have now emboldened him to continue, risking all.
We must evict them. We must persist. Do not forget this day. We are called on to save the US if we think it worth saving.
I’ll let Mavis Staples finish this right.
Also noteworthy: by my standards of vulnerability, BOTH Senators are vulnerable in FL, IA, IN, KY, MO, MS and maybe Alabama.
