Open MD-06 Discussion

Would him retiring from the House make MD-06 competitive in anyway? It voted within 10% last year and has a PVI of D+2

If republicans can nominate a sane candidate it would be.

So no

Even with a sane candidate, it would not be

It would have to be a GOP wave, and there's no reason to believe 2024 will be one, at least at the House level.

So no

The current frontrunner seems to be Minority Leader Jason C. Buckel, who previously called for West Virginia to annex Western Maryland.

As for the Democrats, Joe Vogel announced he'd consider a candidacy. Vogel, a Jewish Uruguayan immigrant, is one of two Zoomers elected to office in Maryland.

MD-06 is not competitive at all. Frederick County is now safely blue, plus even the Republican counties in that seat are trending left.

He’s also openly gay.

He would be Maryland’s first Latino member of Congress.

I feel that this probably will be a wide open field. Lots of Maryland Democrats will be eager to get up the ladder. I also don't see this race being that competitive in the general, given its a Presidential year.

Biden won this district by 20 points in 2020 right? He'll probably perform the same and it would be really hard to see Republicans winning this seat at the same time.

edit: wait I forgot it lost a lot of Montgomery County but I still don't see it flipping during a presidential election.

He won it by 10 in 2020, but the seat is still rending left (even the rurals) and has shown no signs of stopping. The Dems running for Senate and Governor did better than Biden in Frederick County and most of the other counties too.
