MIDTERM MADNESS: Wave of electoral losers trying again in midterm races

3

FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: A slew of candidates who lost high-profile Senate races last year are asking voters to give them another shot with the midterm elections around the corner.

Democrat Sherrod Brown, the former Ohio senator, became the latest politician to announce a comeback bid Monday after losing in a presidential election year that buoyed his GOP rival. Before him, it was Dan Osborn, the independent populist who gave Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) a run for her money in Nebraska, and days earlier, former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, who drew outsize attention and gobs of cash to his failed race in Texas.

On the GOP side, former congressman Mike Rogers announced he is running in April after losing a Senate race in Michigan by less than one percentage point.


Even candidates who had failed runs years ago think they should try again.

Former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown will take another shot at the Senate in New Hampshire after failing to win a decade ago.

Sate GOP Treasurer John Fleming, who lost a 2016 Senate primary in Louisiana, is rechallenging his party this time to unseat Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
