but I wonder whether he'll take on the several other popular, amply endorsed, Dems seeking that spot, or simply stay where he is and take advantage of his seniority in the House.

but several well-endorsed Dems seeking the spot. (Family friends supporting Alsobrooks, and likely many others.)

intent on seeking the Senate seat.

Then perhaps if Jamie stays put it's cool?

Alsobrooks is the fourth candidate to announce a bid for Sen. Ben Cardin's seat in the 2024 Senate race. . .

As a Maryland native and member of the Democratic Party, Alsobrooks served two terms as Prince George's County state's attorney before being elected county executive.

Alsobrooks tweeted Tuesday morning a campaign video announcing her U.S. Senate bid.

"There aren't enough people in the U.S. Senate who live like, think like and look like the people they're supposed to represent," she said in her tweet. "My Great-Grandma told me, 'if you don't like something, go farther and do better.' I'm proud to say I'm running for the Senate. Let's go farther together."

Fox News Digital reached out to Alsobrooks' communications director for comment and was directed to a press release announcing her run for the future vacated seat along with describing her experience and "call to public service" as a politician.

During her time as county executive, Alsobrooks has focused on crime, education, the economy and health care, the release stated.
