6. We do not know who is going to win the Dem primaries in some of those 6 states I listed.

The only one who very likely a lock is Gallego, but he also will have, along with the MI winner, the hardest general

The only one you listed who I hope loses the primary is Slotkin (she is a No Label Problem Solver caucus member, has been very anti Pelosi, and I think has significant risk to take up the Manchin/Sinema mantle of Dem intraparty blocker).

Unfortunately most all of the heavy Dem hitters in Michigan passed on running for the US Senate in 2029 (Whitmer (obviously), then AG Nessell, Lt Gov Gilchrist, SoS Benson, Andy Levin (who was forced into running against Stevens in a more conservative district that was more tailored for her and he lost), and also the wonderful state senator Mallory Morrow, plus Buttigieg, though it would have been a tough sell for him as he just moved to Michigan after basically living in Indiana for most of his life). I would take any and all 7 of those over Slotkin all day, all night.

8. Rep. Schiff is more popular than Sen. Feinstein? He should be so lucky. Now a question for you: what is your point?

I hope that you — and any other DUer — are aware that we do not have national elections for US Senators. Only residents of their states can vote for them. It is ignorant at best to imply otherwise.

So, what is your point with these posts, nkpolitics1212?
