Primaries to watch Tuesday (5/14/24)- Maryland, Nebraska, West Virginia

I didn't really have a dog in the MD-Sen primary, but I'm glad Alsobrooks won. Trone just seemed like a rich dude who wanted to buy his way into one of the world's most exclusive clubs. If trump gets back in office(God forbid), we're going to desperately need real Democrats in Congress to oppose his radical fascist agenda. Also, it's kinda weird that neither of the Senators from Maryland are black. I rooted for Donna Edwards when she ran against Van Hollen. I thought it made a lot more sense for Van Hollen to stay in the House and build seniority and for a young, fierce progressive like Edwards to represent such a blue state.

So glad Alsobrooks seems to be winning. I'm glad being rich can't buy you a Senate seat and Alsobrooks seems like a genuinely good person. This and Kim in NJ will be huge wins for the Senate.

And don't forget how much of an upgrade Gallego will be. Democrats are going to have a much better caucus next Congress, even if they end up being in the minority.
