Lead image

Following suit with Dick Durbin and Bernie Sanders, these outdated official portraits from nearly a decade ago should be replaced with recent images. Here's some potential replacements and let's vote as to whether we should change the image. I personally prefer C. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 02:33, 6 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Option A (current; 2013)
Option B (2017)
Option C (2019)
Option D (2019)
Option E (2023)
Option F (2023)

Comment: It's been three years and another better image option (more recent; looks professional has popped up). Look at Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke, Jim Risch, Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Crapo. Their infoboxes aren't using outdated official portraits, they're using more recent/good quality/candid pics instead. The main rationale is either it's too outdated or the subject no longer looks similar today than they were when the lead pic was taken. Compare Baldwin's 2013 portrait (outdated) to the 2023 candid pic and you can tell she looks different. The main rationale is why Trump's portrait isn't being used in the 2024 election article too. This is about consistency. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 05:01, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
