Do not bet on that. Enough Rep. Some R. Senators might be glad to see her go.

Not sure about that. Giving Warren actual 'tooth' in an agency/admin doesn't necessarily seem like a 'win' when the senate seat is likely to firmly stay within Democratic control.

Typical MA senate races are like +30 D lean. As stated by another poster, Brown winning the 2010 special election was an anomaly fueled by mid-term turnout and ... mostly importantly ... a D candidate who mailed in one of the lazier MA campaigns I've witnessed for an MA non-incumbent.

An Obama quote from 2016:

Well, the first thing that’s happening is I’m talking to Rahm [Emanuel, then chief of staff], and Jim Messina [then deputy chief of staff] and saying, “Okay, explain to me how this happened.” It was at that point that I learned that our candidate, Martha Coakley, had asked, rhetorically, “What should I do, stand in front of Fenway and shake hands with voters?,” and we figured that wasn’t a good bellwether of how things might go.
