Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being as yet nonwinning candidates in future election primaries — if you cannot make and
properly source a credible claim that he was already notable for some other reason besides his candidacy (e.g. having already held another notable political office), then he has to win the general election, not just run as a primary or even general election candidate, to be considered a notable politician per
WP:NPOL. And having some campaign-related coverage does not automatically equal a
WP:GNG pass, either, because every candidate in any election can always show some evidence of campaign-related coverage. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the Senate seat, but nothing here, neither the substance nor the sourcing, qualifies him to already have an article today.
