He might lose the Senate. Joe Manchin is the only bluedog Democrat remaining, all others have been driven out along with the rest of the plebeians. If he switches parties, then the Republicans have 51 seats, then Biden's agenda is dead. If he's unwilling to switch parties, all he has to do is resign and his state's Republican governor appoints his successor. I suspect just the threat of that will stave off the bullies.
The "insurrection" is a fiction. I can't believe I have to say this again: Read the transcript. The words are plain. Go and demonstrate, be heard, do no violence. If that is now a disqualifying statement, listen again to the news broadcasts about peaceful protesters.
Mr Clueless Bill Heath here seems to not know that around 80% of elected Democrats are "blue dogs." They're fucking Republicans who just happen to prefer blue and the letter D on their jerseys.
You need to go pretty far in the authoritarian direction in order to get to 80% of elected Democrats. In the Senate, "fucking Republicans who just happen to prefer blue" would include Sheldon Whitehouse who has suggested expelling Senators who dissent from the approved narrative, Chris Van Hollen, who has said "I know a couple of Republicans who aren't racists," as well as Sherrod Brown and Patrick Leahy, who should react unfavorably at that label.
In the House, bluedogs would include Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff and Joseph Kennedy. I'm sure they're all happy to discover they really don't mean a word they say because they're Republicans in disguise.
See: govtrack.us. I now have a clue, apparently. Thanks for clearing that up for us, the benighted.
I disagree that Trump didn't have any intentions to do a coup, but yes, looks like that anyone arguing about it will need to suffer the Trump speech. And better in video, as a lot of nuance/context is likely to be lost in a transcript.

Of course it’s pure fantasy; thus the quotation marks. There won’t be any legitimate elections any time soon.
