If Reynolds-R gets re-elected Governor and Grassley-R gets re-elected to the US Senate then resigns, Reynolds appoints Grassley's grandson to the US Senate.
I am assuming Grassley's retiring due to Shelby's (R-AL) announced retirement last week. Shelby is a year younger than Grassley and has served in the US Senate less than 6 years than Grassley.
US Senators who ran for re-election when they were over 85 years old.
AK(Stevens-R)2008- lost re-election- later died in a plane crash.
CA(Feinstein-D)2018- won re-election.
HI(Inouye-D)2010- won re-election- later died of natural causes.
OK(Inhofe-R)2020- won re-election- OK former Junior US Senator Coburn-R resigned and later died.
SC(Thurmond-R)1996- won re-election- served out his term the retired in 2002 then later died.
WV(Byrd-D)2006- won re-election- later died of natural causes.
IA Democrats should focus their attention on winning the IA Governors Race because if Democrats win the IA Governors Race and Grassley gets re-elected in 2022. The Democratic Governor of IA will appoint Grassley's replacement to the US Senate.
