I read somewhere he's getting targeted pretty hard as GOP thinks his seat is flippable. If he wins, I bet chatter will start up because he's a pretty good candidate. If he loses, then there's not really a way for him to remain a name in 2020.

And obviously, how he defines himself in that race is going to matter a lot too. I was a bit disappointed to see him join up with Murphy on the happy clappy "we're reaching across the aisle to improve the ACA" thing. If it works, maybe that'll be gold for him and I'll be wrong. But it seems like another try at the classic Democrat mistake of thinking the GOP is capable of acting in good faith. If they treat everything to the left of Reagan as creeping red menace - then him and Murphy are just bargaining against themselves.
