There is no clear frontrunners for the 2024 Democratic Nomination for the US Senate in MD and VT.

Ben Cardin-MD and Bernie Sanders-VT are likely retirements due to their age and length of service.

The Democratic candidates in MD are going to be
US Representative John Sarbanes- son of former longtime MD U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes.
US Representative Jamie Raskin- US Representative who is popular with the Democratic base.
Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. County Executive of MD’s most Democratic County and 2nd most populated County. Alsobrooks will become MD’s 1st black female US Senator in history. What are the chances of former MD US Senator Barbara Mikulski endorsing Alsobrooks in the Democratic primary? Mikulski is the MD’s 1st and only female US Senator. Mikulski is one of the most popular political figures in MD.

The Democratic candidates in VT are going to be
US Representative Becca Balint
Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas
Attorney General Charity Clark

All 3 of these VT Democratic statewide elected officials are in their first term.
