Larry Hogan Leads in Maryland Senate Race Democratic Hold

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan emerges as a strong contender in the Senate race, leveraging his bipartisan appeal and high approval ratings.

Larry Hogan, the former Republican Governor of Maryland, has entered the Senate race, intensifying the competition for the seat currently held by retiring Democrat Ben Cardin.
Hogan's bipartisan approach and high approval ratings during his governorship position him as a formidable opponent in a traditionally Democratic state.
Democratic candidates Angela Alsobrooks and David Trone are vying for their party's nomination, with Alsobrooks endorsed by the Washington Post and Trone self-funding his campaign with significant personal wealth.
Hogan's campaign has been marked by distancing himself from Donald Trump and focusing on local issues like the repair of the Baltimore bridge and abortion rights.
The race is expected to be one of the most watched and expensive, with national implications for Senate control.
