Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Which one of these senators has a primary opponent?
My understanding is none, because they chose members who are already retiring for this
Fetterman isn't a Democrat anymore. He will likely get voted out next term, regardless.
King is not a Democrat.
Masto is barely a Democrat, but that's what her constituents wanted.
Shaheen is retiring.
Durbin is retiring.
Rosen and Kaine have not announced retirement, so they are interesting. Rosen just won a very close race in Nevada, so she either tried to appease conservative voters there or thinks she is gone anyway. No idea what Kaine is thinking.
At this point we should assume every establishment politician at every level of government is being blackmailed.
If "they" chose these members to do this, why are "they" now mad at them? Either this was not a planned move by Democrat leadership and they should be pissed, or... well, while I don't think the Democrats are all that great, I won't slip into the "both sides" or "it's the same party" mindset, as they hardly are comparable and that's a very deep conspiracy to think that this was the plan all along.

This article says they moved with the explicit approval and knowledge of Schumer.

This links to a clip on Fox news where Shaheen confirms they informed Schumer of their moves every step of the way. It's not just a few bad apples, the bunch is rotten.
It's like a race to the bottom, who can destroy things faster, Trump or Schumer. He had the support of most of the public to hold the line, right? Is he an idiot? Seems to be.
Sorry should have been more specific, they in this case refers to senate leadership, specifically Chuck Schumer, but also including anyone else involved in negotiating the 'deal'
The dog walks itself.
None this year but now you have 2-4 additional years to raise a candidate?
Dafuq kind of question is this? You think from today to 2026 you’re going to get an opponent on the ballot? Do you even understand how this works lol
