If Harkin(D-IA), Johnson(D-SD), and Rockefeller(D-WV) not retired in 2014,

Would they still be serving in the US Senate?

Harkin(D-IA) would have defeated Ernst(R-IA) in 2014 and win re-election in 2020.
Johnson(D-SD) is a tough call. 2014(Johnson(D-SD) vs Rounds(R-SD)) would be similar to the 2002(Johnson-D vs Thune-R). 2020(Johnson-D vs US Representative Dusty Johnson-R).
Rockefeller(D-WV) would have narrowly defeated Moore Capito(R-WV) in 2014. In 2020, Rockefeller(D-WV) would have narrowly defeated US Representative Alex Mooney(R-WV).

The name Rockefeller is so powerful in WV that he can run in the next election and probably win in a landslide.
