Buttigieg issued a statement to NBC Thursday calling Stabenow “a force in the Senate” who “fights every day to make life better for Michiganders and all Americans,” while adding that he was “not seeking any other job.” Possible Republican candidates for the seat could include Rep.-elect John James, whose efforts to challenge Stabenow for the seat in 2018 fell short.“Senate Democrats don’t even have a campaign chair yet and they are already dealing with a major retirement,” National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Mike Berg said in a statement. “We are going to aggressively target this seat in 2024. This could be the first of many Senate Democrats who decide to retire rather than lose.
Democrats are defending 20 of the 34 Senate seats currently up for grabs in 2024, with three more seats held by Democrat-aligned independents Angus King of Maine, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona — leaving the party with an uphill battle to hold on to its 51 seats.
