Lisa Blunt Rochester(DE) is so far going to be the only black female US Senator in the next Congress.

Blunt Rochester does not face a top tier primary opposition that Angela Alsobrooks(MD) and Barbara Lee(CA) is facing.

John Carney(DE) has yet to announce his plans.
David Trone(MD) has a lot of money. Total Wine and More franchise.and Congressional experience.
Adam Schiff and Katie Porter(CA) are fighting to face Barbara Lee in the runoff.

2. I hope or Schiff or Lee in California

I like Porter, but her endorsement of Nina Turner was a rookie mistake. She’s not ready for the Senate, imo. I’d be happy with Schiff or Lee in there, though I think Schiff is in a better position going in.

Don’t know the Maryland candidates.

3. The Maryland Candidates are Angela Alsobrooks and David Trone.

Alsobrooks has been a fixture in Prince George’s MD politics.
Prince George’s State Attorney(2010-2018)
Prince George’s County Executive(2018-)
Trone is a wealthy businessman (Co-Owner of Total Wine and More franchise with his brother.)
Trone is currently serving as a US Representative of MD-6(Western MD).

5. Western Maryland is fairly conservative, right?

Would hate to lose a D seat there. How does he align with typical Democratic politics? I grew up and lived in Maryland for 35+ years. Moved out to Indiana in 2004 for my wife’s job… I miss living in Maryland!!!

7. Most of the high profiled MD Democratic Politicians are backing Alsobrooks.

This includes Van Hollen, Hoyer, Mfume, Ivey, Moore, Miller, Brown, and Lierman. The mayor of Baltimore city, the county executives of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Charles, Howard, and Montgomery are endorsing Alsobrooks. The Senate President and 16 State Senators are backing Alsobrooks. The House Speaker and 54 state delegates are endorsing Alsobrooks.

6. It feels like Trone is running more TV ads than all the Medicare Advantage ads combined.

Alsobrooks is the more attractive candidate but Trone is all in with gobs of money. To hear the ads, he is the most progressive politician to ever breathe air. Personally, I find him a bit oily but I can vote for him if he's the candidate.

As a party, we'd be better off with him defending his current seat and leave the Senate seat to Alsobrooks, who currently holds no office.

4. Barbara Lee is not expected to make the run off.

It will likely be Schiff and Porter.
