How many more Democratic US Senators up for re-election in 2024 will not seek re-election in 2024?

1)Statenow(MI) is not seeking re-election voluntarily. Slotkin is likely going to be the Democratic nominee for Stabenow’s MI US Senate seat and Former MI State Senator Curtis Hertel Jr. of Lansing,MI(MI-23) is likely going to be the Democratic nominee for Slotkin’s MI-7 US House seat. MI-23 was previously represented by Gretchen Whitmer. Hertel Jr. had to step down last year(2022) due to term limits.
2)Sinema(AZ) will be forced to step down. Sinema will come in 3rd place with less than 5 percent of the popular vote in the November General Election. Gallego will be the Democratic nominee and will win the November General Election by a narrow margin.
3)Feinstein(CA) will be forced to step down. Feinstein will come in 3rd place in the open blanket primary after Porter and Schiff.
4)Cardin(MD) will retire due to his length of service in elected office.(20 years in the MD State House of Representatives including 8 years as House Speaker), (20 years in the US House of Representatives), and (18 years in the US Senate when we get to 2024). Cardin is over 80 years old. US Representatives Sarbanes and Raskin will be the frontrunners for the 2024 MD US Senate Election. Sarbanes and Raskin will be great partners to Chris Van Hollen, the other MD US Senator.
5)Sanders(VT) will retire due to his age and length of service. (8 years as Mayor of Burlington,VT), (16 years in the US House of Representatives) and (18 years in the US Senate when we get to 2024.) US Representative Becca Balint will be the front runner.

Couple of days ago, I was watching All in with Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Guess who was a a guest.

Former CA US Representative Katie Hill.
Hayes and Hill were discussing the 2024 CA US Senate Election including Katie Porter’s candidacy. Hill and Porter became members of the US House the same year-2019.
Hill had to resign because of a sex scandal that was not serious. If Hill had not resigned, Would she have won re-election in 2020 and 2022 against Mike Garcia? Would Hill be mentioned as a candidate for the 2024 CA US Senate Election?

Who will be the Democratic nominee for the 2024 MD US Senate Election if Cardin retires and the

Democratic candidates are Raskin,Sarbanes,and Trone?

Sarbanes is the frontrunner due to high statewide name recognition(son of a former 5 term MD US Senator.) Sarbanes has been in US Congress since 2007. Hoyer and Ruppersberger have served longer than Sarbanes. Hoyer and Ruppersberger are unlikely to run due to their age(late 70’s/early 80’s).
Raskin is the most progressive candidate in the Democratic primary. Raskin was a constitutional lawyer and law professor. Raskin is likely to get an endorsement from the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warrens of the Democratic Party.
Trone represents a swing US House District in MD.
