Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle, reelected to the House on Tuesday, said Wednesday he will not run for the U.S. Senate in 2028, one day after the midterm elections. Boyle said he can have a bigger impact as House Budget Committee chairman than as a freshman senator, according to statements reported by The Center Square and the Washington Examiner. The Hill reports that Decision Desk HQ projected Boyle won about 81 percent of the vote in his House district. The Washington Examiner reports Boyle had been floated as a possible primary challenger to Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat.
