California: New Senate Entry: Wealthy former Google executive Lexi Reese (D), who says she will spend some of her own fortune on the open statewide US Senate race, announced that she will enter the California March 5th all-party primary for the right to succeed retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D).
While her path to claim one of the two qualifying positions necessary for advancing into the general election is narrow since she faces sitting US Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), Katie Porter (D-Irvine), and Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), the chances of her taking enough Democratic votes to potentially allow a Republican to sneak past the Democratic field and clinch a general election ballot slot becomes more plausible. The California Senate race will be one of the main attractions on Super Tuesday. Montana: Another Major Endorsement for Sheehy: On the heels of retired Navy SEAL and aerospace company CEO Tim Sheehy announcing his Senatorial campaign and receiving the National Republican Senatorial Committee endorsement, another has come his way. Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) announced his public support for Mr. Sheehy yesterday. It is clear the Republican political establishment is getting solidly behind Mr. Sheehy in an attempt to deny Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Glendive), who soon will announce his own Senate candidacy, the nomination. Rep. Rosendale begins with a large polling lead, so it will be worth watching to see if the Montana Republican establishment has enough pull to thwart a strong Rosendale bid. The eventual party nominee then challenges three-term Sen. Jon Tester (D) in what should be considered a must-win contest for the GOP. Nevada: Former Candidate Ready to Announce: Disabled Afghan War veteran Sam Brown lost the 2022 Senate Republican primary to former Attorney General Adam Laxalt, but raised over $4.4 million for his race, which caught the attention of the Nevada Republican leaders. Reports are surfacing that suggest Mr. Brown will return for the 2024 campaign and will announce his intentions next month. Should he enter the Republican primary, he will face former state Assemblyman and ex-Secretary of State nominee Jim Marchant. The eventual Republican nominee will then challenge first-term Sen. Jacky Rosen (D) in what has the potential of becoming a top tier 2024 Senate race. Comments are closed.
