Well, Sen. Bob Casey Jr. sure has nothing to worry about in 2024

[Polybius]

Doug Mastriano is leading big-time in the Republican primary. He has 39% to the more sane David McCormick's 21%.

1. I think that I read that Senator Casey will not run for reelection. n/t

ON EDIT: Okay. My mistake. Senator Casey is still in the non-declared category.

2. Well, whoever runs should win easily

I can't see Doug Mastriano beating any known PA Democrat.

3. I hope we Dems can hold that PA Senate seat.

Here in western PA, at some distance from Pittsburgh, the right-wingers still strut their contempt for us Dems. I just got back from grocery shopping where, in the parking lot, there was a huge late model pickup truck with rear window stenciling having its wording slightly obscured, but the stenciling presented a profane comment to Tom Wolf. My hope is that 2024 will see a strong turnout of sane voters who will reject the Rethug candidates.

4. If he leaves, he will be on the young side to leave the Senate.

I have friends that were at Holy Cross with him, he is about 60. In senate years, (like dog years minus 1) he has about 4/5 terms left.

5. I'm hoping he stays

From what I understand, he's popular in PA.

6. Me too, good fit for the State and a good Senator.
