Two highly qualified candidates have declared themselves candidates for Delaware’s congressional seat. Some of you favor Eugene Young, others favor Sarah McBride. I like them both, and I’m not choosing which one I’ll vote for before campaigning has even begun.
The simple fact is that both would make better senators than Lisa Blunt Rochester and Chris Coons, but the reality of politics is that each needs a stepping stone to that office, so they’re both running for the seat LBR is leaving open.
Having seen the havoc Democratic primaries cause when people start throwing shade at candidates and each other – Hillary vs. Bernie nearly wrecked this blog – I’d like to see this remain a civil debate where we don’t engage in name-calling.
This isn’t a race for president, it’s a race for an open seat in the House of Representatives, one of 435. The stakes simply aren’t high enough for anybody to die on this hill. Try to act accordingly.
