Why is MD US Rep. Brown running for MD AG when he is better off running for the US Senate in 2024?

[nkpolitics1212]

Brown’s Democratic primary opponent for the 2022 MD Attorney General’s race is Katie Curran O’Malley. Judge/First Lady and Daughter of Former State Attorney General Joe Curran. Curran O’Malley will defeat Brown in the Democratic Primary.

Regarding the 2024 MD US Senate Race, I expect Ben Cardin-D to retire. Cardin will be over 80 years old. Cardin has been in Congress for 35 years. Anthony Brown’s Democratic primary opponents are likely going to be John Sarbanes(Son of Paul Sarbanes-D), Jamie Raskin, and Dave Trone-D,

1. I wouldn't bet against Sarbanes for the Senate, or Raskin if he chose to run;

imo, ANYONE else is 'meh.' (But that's just me.)

SILLY of me not to be following O'Malley! Sure would like that family to take a step or 2 up.

2. How would Brown do in the 2022 MD Governors Race? Both in the primary and general?

The announced top tier Democratic candidates for the 2022 MD Governors Race are-
Rushern Baker
Peter Franchot
Doug Gansler
Tom Perez


Peter Franchot is the front runner in the Democratic Primary for the 2022 MD Governors Race.
Franchot won 4 statewide elections in MD(All for Comptroller by landslide margins)
If Franchot had decided to run for Governor in 2018,How would Franchot have done against Larry Hogan?

3. Dunno; I'm not 'excited' about any of them.

Franchot's been around, has a 'name' here, but so (maybe) does Perez.
