Delaware congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester launches Senate bid, poised to make history if elected

Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Tom Carper in 2024.
If elected, Blunt Rochester would become the first Black female senator from Delaware and only the third in U.S. history.
Blunt Rochester has served three terms in the House of Representatives and is co-chair of President Biden's re-election campaign.
She is favored to win the reliably blue state of Delaware with endorsements from Carper and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer.
Her priorities include protecting voting and reproductive rights and eliminating the legislative filibuster.
