Sen. Warren beat her 2018 general election challenger—MAGA Republican Geoff Diehl—by 24 points. Since then, he’s become a perennial loser, coming in nearly 30 points behind Gov. Maura Healey in the 2022 gubernatorial. Sen. Warren could face a race if the MA GOP can nominate a moderate, but that’s not likely—they’ve been captured by extremists who drove out popular Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, giving Democrats total control of the state.
