I know Ohio's Rob Portman, already in a tough race, will feel more pressure. As the nominee gains broader exposure through media, GOP position to not hold hearings will become more untenable, IMO.

I like Rob Portman. He isn't one of those GOP senators who goes off the rails when he doesn't get his way (i.e. McConnell). And he focuses a lot of his time on what's happening in his own state, like helping Amazon open a new fulfillment center there.
