Former Trump impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., is seriously mulling a bid for Senate.
The high-profile Democrat says he plans to make a final decision by the Fourth of July according to The Hill.
“I've not decided. I love the House of Representatives. I love the people I serve. And I love being in the people's House. But, as some of my House colleagues have pointed out, these Senate seats only open up every 25 or 30 years,” Raskin said on CNN's “State of the Union.”
“A lot of people are encouraging me to check it out because there's certain constitutional functions the Senate has the House doesn't have, like advice and consent, Supreme Court nominations, judicial confirmations, a lot of things that I'm interested in and that's why I'm seriously considering it, but I've not decided,” he said.
He said a possible run would be “totally based on the experience I've had trying to defend our democracy and our freedom and the Bill of Rights against the Trump movement.”
Raskin initially hinted at a Senate run last month after Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) announced he would not seek reelection.

Interesting that Democrat Raskin feels he needs to be in the Senate to counter all the damage Trump does to the nation, like freedom of speech, border control, low-price energy, Capitalism, resistance to Chinese encroachment, and spying. Trump is also a believer in parental control of their children and resistance to child sex-change mutilation.
