Peters was the only freshman Senate Dem elected that year. He underperformed against John James in 2020, but James, while in the House now, hasn't been a particularly great vote winner himself and indeed could be vulnerable in 2026 (maybe he tries for a Senate rematch if in serious danger of losing his House seat?)

That doesn't mean that Peters is particularly weak or should be dumped, especially when he may well be helped by national trends.
John James won re-election by a wider margin against the same Democratic challenger he had in 2022, Carl Marlinga. If there's any chance to unseat him, 2026 is right now the best shot.
I'm sure someone else besides Marlinga will emerge as a Democratic challenger.
