I don’t know how I missed this:
Carper hasn’t decided if he will run for re-election in 2018
DOVER — U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, who has held elected office in Delaware continuously for 40 years, has not yet decided whether he will seek a fourth term in the Senate.
A spokeswoman said Monday in an email:
“Sen. Carper is laser-focused on seeing a number of critical priorities across the finish line before the end of this Congress and is also working on his transition into a new role as ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in the next Congress.
“He will make a decision about whether or not he’ll run for re-election in 2018 sometime in the new year.”
Now granted, that is a statement that you could drive a truck through, but the very fact that the State News is asking Carper if he is going to run is telling.
Progressives, start your engines.
