Ben Cardin Won’t Run Again

Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) won’t seek reelection in 2024, the Washington Post reports.

“Cardin, 79, has been a fixture in Maryland politics for decades, building a reputation as a serious, reserved legislator who gravitates toward complex policy issues and avoids the kind of show-horse politicking of some of his peers. His retirement is likely to create a highly competitive Democratic primary to replace him.”
