MI-SEN: Dingell says she hasn't said 'no' to potential Senate bid in Michigan

[RandySF]

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) isn’t ruling out a 2024 Senate bid, saying that she’s “committed” to keeping retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-Mich.) seat in Democratic hands.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Monday, Dingell acknowledged that she’s been approached about a Senate campaign, but hasn’t yet made a final decision on whether to run.

“I have had a lot of people calling, asking me to consider it,” she said. “So I haven’t said no. But I’m getting the data, the research, and talking to everybody. And we’re going to make sure we don’t lose that seat. And that is the No. 1 that I am committed to.”

Asked whether she has a timeline for making a decision on a Senate bid, Dingell demurred, saying that she’s not up against any solid deadlines yet.

“People are all pushing, and I think people that have gotten out there early have a lot of people shooting at them already,” she said. “And I’m very committed to getting the research, talking to people. And I have said to a number of people, I won’t say no yet.”

2. I would hate to lose her as my House representative, but we need to keep that Senate seat D.

She would be a good candidate.

It would be easier to get a D to win her MI-6 vacancy as well.
