Is Debbie Stabenow truly “inspired by a new generation of leaders”? Or is she despairing in the face of a brutal 2024 campaign cycle with Joe Biden at the top of the ticket? The Senate session has only just opened, and Democrats have their first retirement already:
It’s worth noting that Stabenow will only turn 73 in April. That may be retirement age in most jobs, but in the Senate it’s practically the flower of youth. Dianne Feinstein is old enough to be her mother and Chuck Grassley old enough to be her father, and neither of them have announced their retirement. (Yet, anyway.) Grassley just easily won another term in November, in fact.
Democrats may have expected Stabenow to stick around for another term to help them out of a big jam.
