Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin has announced that he will not run for Senate in 2024, instead choosing to seek reelection to the House.
Raskin had previously said he was weighing a possible Senate run to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Ben Cardin, who will retire in 2025 after serving three terms. “I am profoundly grateful not only to those who have encouraged me on this exciting path but also to those from all over Maryland who have strongly encouraged me to run for the U.S. Senate seat being left vacant by Senator Ben Cardin,” Raskin said in a lengthy statement.
” Raskin said he would “do whatever” is needed to help elect a Democrat to fill Cardin’s seat and thanked friends, family and advisors – who he said made “compelling arguments” as he contemplated his decision. US Rep. David Trone, Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks are among the Democrats who have jumped into the race to fill Cardin’s seat.
