Then the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee caught himself, realizing that it’s still a reach to think about Republican wins in blue-leaning states like Colorado and Washington. His committee has yet to put a large infusion of cash into an ad campaign in either state.

In an interview in June 2021, Peters recalled how much he felt abandoned for a long stretch of his own reelection in 2020, as Democrats chased wins in Alaska, Kansas, South Carolina and Texas.
