Larry Hogan Enters U.S. Senate Race in Maryland

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan files for U.S. Senate, surprising many with his late entry as a Republican candidate.

Larry Hogan, the former Governor of Maryland, has filed to run for the U.S. Senate, catching the political establishment by surprise.
Despite his popularity and high approval ratings, Hogan's path to victory in a Democratic-leaning state like Maryland remains uncertain.
Hogan's campaign will focus on appealing to centrist Democrats and independents, distancing himself from Donald Trump and the Maryland GOP.
Democratic candidates have a significant fundraising advantage, with U.S. Rep. David Trone and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks leading in campaign finances.
Hogan's entry into the race could force Democrats to spend more resources in Maryland, potentially impacting the broader battle for the U.S. Senate majority.
