Larry Hogan’s Senate bid in Maryland catches Democrats off guard, impacting their resources
Larry Hogan’s Challenge in the Maryland Senate Race
Even former Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan would concede his U.S. Senate campaign to replace retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) will be difficult based on Democrats’s almost 2-1 voter registration advantage in the sapphire blue state.
But with a poll indicating Hogan has a double-digit edge on the leading Democratic primary candidates, Democrats may have to spend money in the state when they already have to contend with a disadvantageous 2024 map.
Surprising Poll Numbers
Hogan, with a 12 percentage point lead over Rep. David Trone (D-MD) and a 14 point lead over Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, is making waves in the race.
Republicans’ Sentiments
The National Republican Senatorial Committee sees Hogan’s lead as a sign of concern for Democrats in Maryland’s upcoming Senate race.
Changing Dynamics
Despite the current poll results, political analysts like David Karol believe the race’s dynamics can shift before the general election in November.
- Democrats face challenges in maintaining their Senate positions in key races across the country.
- The Maryland Senate race is attracting national attention due to Hogan’s unexpected lead.
- Hogan’s stance on abortion and past criticism of Trump are influencing the campaign narrative.
As the Maryland Senate race heats up, the battle between Hogan and leading Democratic contenders promises to be a compelling political showdown.
