Hogan was the most popular governor in Maryland history, according to the Washington Post. He’s not going to suddenly turn his back on his state, his convictions, and constituents and go full MAGA. |
Hogan will not be re-elected to Senate if he goes full MAGA. |
Exactly. It’s not like he’s a fluke. He not only won but was reelected as governor. He knows exactly what MD voters like and will act accordingly while in office or he will not not reelected. He’s going to win and will probably served a very long time. |
I don’t know. Trump lost Maryland by 33 points in 2020 and David Trone (most likely) will be a tough matchup. Suburban Maryland voters are savvy. They understand the difference between a governor and senator. And Hogan absolutely cannot win without them. Despite his name recognition, this will be an uphill climb for Hogan. |
The key difference between Hogan and Youngkin are that Hogan has a track record in office and also, Hogan did not campaign on a MAGA agenda. Youngkin campaigned on CRT. Hogan has never waded into the culture wars. |
Hogan won western Montgomery County in both elections. Suburban MD voters know what they are getting in Hogan and have no problem voting for him. But also, the state is much bigger than DC suburbs and I don’t think Trone can best Hogan in Baltimore County, Westminster, Eastern Shore, etc. Alsobrooks has absolutely zero chance. |
Voting for governor and voting for senator are not the same thing, and voters understand this. That’s why you so often see Democratic governors in states that Biden wouldn’t have a chance in hell of winning. But we’ll see. |
Between Hogan and “Also-Bowser” Hogan wins. But Trone beats Hogan. |
\ Hogan definitely did wade into the culture wars. The key difference between Hogan and Youngkin is that Hogan had to deal with a state legislature that had a Democratic supermajority. |
+1 I may have posted this earlier but Hogan will have similar results to Steve Bullock in Montana and Phil Bredesen in Tennessee, both very popular governors in the opposite party of what their states usually do, who then ran for Senate and lost. Voters are smart. |
I think it’s a closer race but Hogan still wins. |
You’re going to need to be specific. Hogan did no such thing. |
I am fascinated that you folks are just ignoring the polling. It will be fun watching the public freak out from people like you when Hogan wins. |
The biggest problem with voting for Hogan is handing the Senate to the Republicans. NOTHING is worth that cost. |
What exactly would that do and why is it important to MD residents? No one seems to be able to say exactly, aside from arm waving hysterics. |
