The drama came and went quickly like a summer thunderstorm. From Carper’s announcement that he had an announcement to make, to quitting, to two candidates basically sewing up their nominations less than 24 hours later. Per BlueDelaware:
The conventional wisdom has cemented the notion that Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester will run for the Senate to succeed retiring Senator Tom Carper, thus clearly the field of any significant primary challengers, and it also seems very likely that State Senator Sarah McBride will run for Congress to succeed LBR. McBride has a strong enough statewide brand herself in the Democratic Party that she likely can clear the field of any competitive challengers herself.
