Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D), the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, will not enter the U.S. Senate race to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D), a decision with huge implications for the race.
“His endorsement is going to be coveted, probably second only to the governor,” said Quincey Gamble, a veteran Democratic strategist. “People around the state now have been able to see Jamie on the highest platform, performing admirably. So Democratic voters absolutely trust his value system and what he has worked for and what he believes in.”With Raskin’s decision to stay in the House, Alsobrooks and Trone are seen as the most formidable candidates in the race so far.
Todd Eberly, a political science professor at St. Mary’s College, said he’d assume that some of those calls were from supporters of candidates already in the race who wanted Raskin to stay put.“I think part of the hope on the Alsobrooks’ campaign side is you line up all of these endorsements and it would hopefully discourage someone from getting into the race,” he said.
In addition to addressing his cancer treatment, Raskin has publicly grieved his son, Tommy, 25, a second-year law student at Harvard Law, who died by suicide on New Year’s Eve 2020. A week later, Raskin returned to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and he and his daughter had to flee a pro-Trump mob.
