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. |
Very good point about Phil Bredesen. He won reelection as governor in 2006 with 69% of the vote and then lost the race for senate in 2018 by over 10 points. That’s a 50-point swing. And 2018 was a blue wave election. |
It’s only April and the campaign hasn’t even begun yet. Because Roe v Wade was overturned, by Election Day Maryland Democrats, especially female Democrats, will be very focused on lifetime Supreme Court appointments. And Larry Hogan has promised to block all of Joe Biden’s nominees and almost certainly would provide the deciding vote for anyone nominated by Donald Trump. |
I guess this is how the election is going to go, a bunch of people lying about Larry Hogan. He has made no such promises to do any of the things that you say. I guess complaining about how he led Maryland to decreased unemployment, more revenue, balanced budgets, supported more road construction, canceled the Baltimore Red Line or that he approved the Purple Line amid significant Democratic pressure isn’t getting you the traction you thought among voters? |
Hogan will absolutely block Biden's Supreme Court nominees. This is unfortunately the predictable path of every Republican Senator, and thinking that Hogan will stand up to the Trump mob is wishful thinking. I suppose anything is possible, but why even take that chance? Isn't it just easier to vote for the candidate who certainly won't vote to erode our rights, as opposed to just hoping and praying that Hogan won't be disastrous? |
Hogan promised to caucus with Republicans. That means that Biden’s Supreme Court nominees won’t get a vote if Republicans have a majority. And there’s no chance in hell Larry Hogan would give Democrats the 51st vote against one of Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees. |
