TL;DR Summary

Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, a long-serving Democrat, announced his retirement, clearing the way for highly competitive primaries to replace him in 2024, especially among Democrats in a deep-blue state. The state’s liberal-leaning voters have not sent a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1980, and the eight-member congressional delegation includes just one member of the G.O.P. On the Republican side, there is already speculation about whether Larry Hogan, a popular former governor who in March said he would not run for president, will make a bid.
