Under no circumstances. We do not need an AIPAC stooge.

Anti semitism is rife

[Spectator]

Slotkin is the best choice IMO

She’s one of the strongest I’ll give her that, but that house seat is pretty vulnerable, given that she only won it by about 5 points last year.

Her 5 point win was essentially a landslide, especially against a highly touted state senator and in an R+3 GCB.

Lmao what? She'll be in her 70s. no.

Why would she run? She’s somewhere in democratic minority leadership and is basically 70. Slotkin and Stevens make sense, but Dingell? Why would she even want to give up her house seat? If you want to leave the house, wouldn’t retiring be a better option?

[Spectator]

Has Benson said anything? She makes the most sense since she wouldn’t be leaving a House seat open.

My brother in Christ she literally admits that AIPAC has been a guiding voice for her fopo views

Peter Welch is older than Dingell and he ran and won. Of course I don’t think she should run but it’s something to think about

That comparison doesn't work though, because the bench in Michigan is much larger then it is in Vermont, on account of it being like five times the size of that state in terms of population.

From the optional available, I'd like to see Slotkin win the nomination. With that said, I'd love to see Dingell and Stevens give up their seats to lose in this senate primary. Gives us a great chance of replacing them with Democrats to their left in the House, like Demings being replaced by Maxwell Frost. I don't think he's interested, but Kildee would be a super strong candidate as well.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's so far away from primary

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

RS have zero candidate that's gonna win a 290 and GA can flip but NC is vulnerable due to Stein winning Gov

DeSantis isn't winning with that map

[NewYorkExpress]

This one's Lean R (at least until we get an idea of who the candidates will be).

While Republicans have a weaker bench, they will have momentum on their side in 2024.

[Horsemask]

I'm interested to see how many House reps take the plunge and run.

LoL do you know Biden has the exacta same Approvals he had  Nov 22 it's Rassy 47/51 GCB 48/44 D and it's gonna he Slotkin we solidified the blue wall and unless a Marist or PPP poll shows we lose a 303 state we will win them because Marist had Fetterman plus 4 and Trafalgar had Oz plus 3


That poll that has Mastriano ahead by 5 is fake over Casey it's not Marist or PPP they wouldn't publish a poll 2 yrs out


Marist is the most accurate poll in a 303 it's the MXDX ot the 303

John James of MI-10.

[NewYorkExpress]

James will, maybe Tlaib, Slotkin or Stevens.

[oldtimer]

It's quite extraordinary how anyone can serve in the US Senate for a state as big and as important as Michigan for nearly a quarter of a century and yet remain completely anonymous.

Because they never deviate from the party line, so they have no news value.

[Tekken_Guy]

The way politics works nowadays is if you can work the media, you can jump the line. I see no reason why Mallory McMorrow wouldn't consider running for this seat.

But... after her massive overperformance and constant good press, I don't think anybody else could beat Jocelyn Benson. If she wants it, she'll get it.

One thing is for sure though, it will be a slightly-progressive, slightly-moderate white gurl from the suburbs no matter who it is.

If Stevens runs I’d imagine McMorrow goes for her house seat.

[LabourJersey]

Curious about who else in this Senate Class will retire.

It's a pretty old Class, even by Senate standards. Here's all the Senators up in 2024 who are the same age as Stabenow (72) or older:

Liz Warren (73)
Mazie Hirono (75)
Joe Manchin (75)
Mitt Romney (75)
Tom Carper (75)
Angus King (78)
Ben Cardin (79)
Bernie Sanders (81)
Dianne Feinstein (89)

And none of then have announced that they're retiring, yet.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

If I had to say I think Slotkin is the front runner, for no reason other then she’s the first name that comes to mind.

Scholten would also be a very good pick

Lisa McClain is likely the most likely to win a Republican primary should she run

[Gracile]

Kildee is out:

Class 3 alone is the reason why we have the Oldest Senate in history

The funny thing about Class 3 now is that there's only a single Senator in that class that's older than 76 -- Chuck Grassley, at 89.

Class 3 has more Senators between the ages of 66-76; Class 1 has more over-75s.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I think I'm okay with this. Stabenow severely under-performed in 2018 and Democrats have a sizable crop of rising stars in the state at a time when the Michigan GOP is weaker than ever.

I don't know who would be the best nominee, but I do agree that Buttigieg should not be it no matter what.
