Moore, a Democrat, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday morning, to discuss the race. Hogan, a Republican, left office with exceedingly high approval ratings, but has faced an uphill battle in the blue state against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks, who is the executive of Maryland’s Prince George’s County.

Moore said that he thinks it is “rich” that Hogan, a centrist who has pushed back against former President Donald Trump, “is asking people to have political courage that he doesn’t have.”

“It is fascinating to me that he’s asking people to be split-ticket voters, but when you ask him who he’s going to vote for, for president, he has repeatedly selected people who are deceased,” Moore said. “You know, because he says in this moment, despite Donald Trump being an existential threat, that he is not going to vote for Kamala Harris.”

Hogan has presented himself as a centrist alternative for Democratic voters in the Bay State. He has refused to embrace Trump and the MAGA movement, but has also declined to endorse Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden bowed out.

A few days ago, Hogan was pressed about who he would vote for on Tuesday and said on CNN that he doesn’t have faith in either Trump or Harris.

“I’ve decided that neither one of them has earned my vote, and I’ve never voted for anybody I didn’t believe in,” Hogan said.

Hogan recently cut an ad aimed at split-ticket voters. In it, a self-identified Harris voter talked about her decision to vote for Hogan.

“As a Democrat, for president, I know who I’m voting for. That’s easy. But Senate: Alsobrooks or Hogan?” a woman identified as a Harris voter says. “They’re both pro-choice. Hogan cut taxes, tolls, and fees in Maryland. I liked Hogan. He works with both parties. He finds commonsense solutions. Alsobrooks would support her party 100% of the time, even their most extreme positions.”

She continued: “This isn’t complicated. I’m splitting my ticket. Harris and Hogan.”

Maryland has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s, and if Hogan won, he would be the first Republican since 1987 to represent Maryland in the Senate.

Hogan is trailing Alsobrooks in the polls, despite leaving office with an impressive 77% approval rating, including an 81% approval rating among Maryland Democrats. A RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls shows Alsobrooks with a 1-point lead over Hogan.
