• Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., will not seek reelection in 2024, The Washington Post reported, likely creating a highly competitive Democrat primary to replace him.
• Cardin, 79, has served in the Senate since 2007, providing a generally reliable vote for Democrats but also willing to cut bipartisan deals when needed, Politico noted.
• He began his career in the Maryland General Assembly in the 1960s and was elected to the U.S. House in 1986.
