.SenatorCardin announced on Monday he would not seek another term in the Senate, setting the stage for what is likely to be a competitive primary to replace the three-term incumbent in 2024. Here’s a breakdown of who’s likely to enter the race.
Just one day after Cardin’s announcement, the primary field has already begun to take shape after Montgomery County Councilman Will Jawando announced he would be running for the seat, making him the first Democratic challenger to enter the fray. However, he is likely to face tough competition from high-profile Democrats in the Old Line State, including those who have garnered national recognition for their work in the House.
“Senator Ben Cardin has assembled a remarkable record of advancing the needs and priorities of Maryland,” Raskin wrote. “I salute him and have congratulated him on a truly amazing and inspiring career devoted to service of our people and the old-fashioned public values of honesty and decency. I want to thank him, his beloved wife Myrna and their whole family for their outstanding and continuing contributions to our state.”Rep.
Trone similarly left no hints as to what he will do in the next campaign cycle, releasing a statement on Monday that praised Cardin for his work in the Senate while not mentioning his plans. Should he choose to run, Trone would be a force to reckon with because the congressman’s personal wealth is formidable enough to give a boost to a campaign. Trone has spent millions of dollars of his own money on previous congressional campaigns, touting a net worth of somewhere between $12 million and $33 million, according to OpenSecrets.Also in the running is Angela Alsobrooks, the county executive for Prince George’s County.
