Alsobrooks,Sarbanes,and Trone.
Raskin is not going to run because of the cancer and is likely to become chairman of the US House Oversight and Reform committee if and when the Democrats regain control of the US House of Representatives.

Between Alsobrooks,Sarbanes,and Trone, Trone has a lot of money and represents a US House District with Republican Counties. Sarbanes has high name recognition and represents a US House District based in the Greater Baltimore Metro Area.

1. Has Cardin Said Or Even Hinted That He's Leaving?

2. Cardin is over 80 years old and has been in elected office since 1967.

The only US Senator that has been in elected office longer than Cardin is Grassley-IA.
Grassley’s 1st political office in IA was IA House of Representatives in 1959.
