Progressives vs Democrats

For John, BLUF:  No, she won't be running against Ed Markey.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Chelsea Manning files to run for U.S. Senate in Maryland

From The Washington Post, by Reporters Justin Jouvenal and Jenna Portnoy, 13 January 2018.

While Ms Chelsea Manning filed for the Democratic Nomination Race, US Senator from Maryland, she is otherwise saying "No Comment".

Here is one of the story paragraphs:

Manning’s first column for The Guardian said Obama’s election in 2008 was a political awakening for her. Manning wrote Obama left behind “hints of a progressive legacy,” but very few permanent accomplishments.

From this I take it that Ms Manning sees herself as a Progressive.

This should be an interesting year.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
