Does anyone see MI US Representative Levin and Stevens running for the US Senate in 2024/2026?

2024(Stabenow-D decides to retire after 4 terms. Stevens-D runs for that seat.)
2026(Peters-D gets a primary challenge from Levin-D for the seat previously held by Levin’s uncle.)

As a Michigander, I could see either or both running for an open seat. FireUpChips10 Dec 2021 #1

In MA, Joe Kennedy decided to challenge Ed Markey in 2020. nkpolitics1212 Dec 2021 #2

I do remember that, but I don't see that happening here. FireUpChips10 Dec 2021 #3

That said, I can't see any of our current House members challenging either Peters or Stabenow in a primary. Both senators are well respected among Democrats.

Markey is well respected like the other MA US Senator Elizabeth Warren. Kennedy lost to Markey.

The same thing that happened to Kennedy in MA can happen to Andy Levin in MI.
