Actually it looks like Raskin is in a pickle.

Takoma Park and most of Downtown Silver Spring will be in District 4 along with Prince George’s County. The district will be D+95 so it’s the safest D in the universe but it will be probably 85% Black, and Raskin is white and Jewish.

The rest of MoCo will be District 8, and some in 6. The far upcounty is probably not enough to compete with a rural R so that district will flip and MoCo will be represented by a Republican. That leaves the 8th with Raskin vs. Trone. Will Raskin win a primary running from outside the district and without his Takoma Park/Silver Spring base?

I can’t believe I’m saying this but progressive hero Raskin appears to be in trouble. [/quote]

I mean, I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all.

But he ain’t real woke.  [/quote]
