Jamie Raskin Declines Senate Run in Maryland

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has announced that he will not be running for a Senate seat in Maryland, opting instead to seek reelection to the House of Representatives. Raskin, who gained national recognition as the lead manager of President Trump's second impeachment, cited his work on the House Oversight Committee and the possibility of becoming its chair as reasons for staying in the lower chamber. His decision leaves the progressive lane in the primary open, with top competitors including Will Jawando, Angela Alsobrooks, and David Trone.
