California Democrats are declaring to run for a once-in-a-generation race for a seat in the US Senate.
Most of the politicians running, or who may declare, are middle-aged or older.
Senators from California have lately served for 16 or more years, so the time is now to run.

We're only a month into 2023, and prominent California Democrats are already setting their sights and preparing to enter a once-in-a-generation race for a seat in the US Senate, where the winner could feasibly sit for the remainder of their career.
