Diane Feinstein-CA and Chuck Grassley-IA will be over 90 years old the next time they face re-election. Mitch McConnell-KY will be 84 years old when he is up for re-election in 2026. Richard Durbin-IL will be 82 years old when he is up for re-election in 2026. Ed Markey-MA will be 80 years old when he is up for re-election in 2026.

Bernie Sanders successor in 2030 will be Becca Balint.
Ben Cardin’s successor in 2030 will be Wes Moore if he does not run for President or does not become a member of the next Democratic Presidential Administration. Aruna Miller, Anthony Brown or Brooke Lierman. Miller,Brown,and Lierman are also candidates for Governor. Sarbanes,Raskin,and Ivey will also be the candidates to succeed Cardin in 2030.

Sherrod Brown has been in the US Senate since 2006. He defeated Mike DeWine in 2006 by a 12 percent margin, Josh Mandel in 2012 by a 6 percent margin, and John Rennacci in 2018 by a 7 percent margin. In 2024, I expect Brown to win re-election by a less than 5 percent margin.
In 2030, Brown will be 78 years old, 1 year older than Howard Metzenbaum was when he retired in 1994, 1 year older than John Glenn was when he retired in 1998, 4 years older than George Voinovich was when he retired in 2010. If Brown decides to run again in 2030 and wins, he will be the longest serving US Senator from OH.
