And whenever republicans pass something with 5-10 democratic votes, Hassan and Shaheen are consistently in that group of 5-10.
It's not defended by them being in a swing state, either: Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada are all states much to the right of NH but the democratic senators from those states typically end up to the left of Hassan and Shaheen.
With Manchin and Sinema gone, these two are in the running to be some of our most conservative senators, despite being from a meaningfully bluer state than 20-30% of our caucus.
Maybe these pieces of legislation would pass anyway if they voted no. My thinking is the caucus decides if they should let it pass or not then decide who’s going to take one for the team. Hassan and Shaheen would be good ones to do that as they don’t have to worry as much about a primary.
It should be obvious but I do not want these pieces of legislation to pass.
If the consequences of "taking one for the team" is losing a primary, then nobody is going to take one for the team. The caucus will vote differently and shitty legislation that needs dem votes will pass less frequently.

Voted for the CR just last week.
