Cummings May Run for Senate in Maryland Too

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) “appears to be on the verge” of announcing his own U.S. Senate bid from Maryland, Politico reports.

“A senior lawmaker able to excite his state’s massive African-American voting bloc, Cummings could be an instant force as a Senate candidate — and those close to him think there’s a high probability that he will run. His statewide name ID, strong Baltimore base and prominence as a national African-American leader could vault him to the top of the field — ahead of Van Hollen, Edwards and any of the handful of other Democrats eyeing the race.”
