Jerome Segal enters US Senate race to replace Cardin

Jerome Segal, philosopher and founder of the Bread and Roses political party, is entering the race to fill a U.S. Senate seat after Sen. Ben Cardin announced his retirement. WTOP’s Kate Ryan reported Segal’s plans to run on Thursday. His announcement comes after he ended his 2024 presidential campaign. Cardin has long served in Maryland politics — before being elected to the Senate, he spent 20 years in the U.S. House of Representatives representing a big part of Baltimore and a number of local suburbs.
