Looking at the former MD US Senators.
Mikulski was 80 years old when she retired.
P. Sarbanes was 73 years old when he retired.
Mathias was 64 years old when he retired.
Ben Cardin has been in elected office in MD office since 1966 so he is a likely retirement. If Cardin retires in 2024, I would like to see Lt Governor Aruna Miller run because MD will have its 1st non white female US Senator. Governor Wes Moore can pick a new Lt Governor who will be his runningmate in 2026.
There has been 1 US Senator who was elected to the US Senate during the middle of his first term in office.
Bob Casey Jr. PA.
Casey was in the middle of his 1st term as PA Treasurer when he 1st ran for the US Senate-2006 defeating Rick Santorum.
There will be no problem for Anthony Brown,Brooke Lierman,or Aruna Miller to run for the US Senate in 2024 if and when Ben Cardin decides to retire.
