Senate Control Leans Toward the Right in 2024 as Top Dems Do Not Seek Reelection

Newser-

Democrats already had a tough challenge ahead in trying to keep control of the Senate in the next election. That challenge just got a little tougher. Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow said Thursday that she will not run for re-election in 2024, reports the Hill. As the AP notes, the 72-year-old—one of the top Democrats in the chamber and a close ally of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer—had not previously suggested she would step down. “Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the US Senate,” Stabenow said in a statement. The move gives Republicans a decent chance to flip a seat in an election year where Democrats have to defend 23 seats, notes the Hill.

What’s more, Democrats Jon Tester of Montana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia also are weighing whether to retire in two GOP-leaning states.
