Jamie Raskin will be the Top Democrat in US House Oversight and Reform Commitee next year.

Does that take him out of the run for the US Senate in 2024 since if Democrats regain control of the US House of Representatives, Raskin will be a Chairman of the US House Oversight and Reform Committee?

This makes John Sarbanes the frontrunner for the 2024 Democratic nomination for the US Senate assuming Ben Cardin retires. John Sarbanes has been in the US House of Representatives since 2007.

Looking at the class of 2024 US Senators based on seniority.
Adam Schiff(D-CA)
John Sarbanes(D-MD)
Ruben Gallego(D-AZ)
Alex Mooney(R-WV)
Warren Davidson(R-OH)
Ryan Zinke(R-MT)
Becca Ballint(D-VT)

Most House members who run for the Senate are chairs of Committees or ranking members.

Some other impressive names on this list as well. Although the Dems are outnumbered, they will not be outsmarted!
