I don't buy it. Is Hogan going to come out as pro-choice and pledge to support a federal law guaranteeing the right to an abortion?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Hogan does not need to make this pledge to win Maryland votes.

Hogan has been popular but I don’t think you understand how unsafe women are in this new world that the GOP promises and how Hogan says he’ll go ahead and support all of that.

I am a Maryland voter and I don't care enough about abortion rights to not vote for Hogan.

Hogan is pro choice.

Having a pro choice GOP senator in the senate is a step forward. Instead of both parties becoming more and more ideologically extreme, having more middle ground GOP/Dem senators makes all of us better off.

‘Kay. Ignore the part where he said he’d caucus with the GOP. I am no longer willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to any Republican at all because they have shown there is no low too low for them.

Same. Voted for him for governor and thought he did a fine job. But no chance will I vote for him for Senate if he's going to caucus with republicans and potentially give them the majority. That will give the republican leader the power to block Biden's appointments, not even bring up legislation, etc. Not happening.

Both prior statements spot on. A vote for a governor is a unitary position. A vote for a senator is a vote for a member of a caucus. I don't give a cr@p that Hogan is pro choice. As long as he caucuses with the GOP, then he stymies any legislation for the safety and well being of women.

Chris Van Hollen was largely elected to the House to replace Connie Morella in the early aughts to break the GOP House logjam. Morella's personal qualities were no longer enough to trump that she was a vote Denny Hastert.

Hogan is not pro choice.
He has stated over and over again that he is against a woman’s right to chose.
And he enacted legislation in Maryland in support of the “pro life” agenda.

Hogan had to work with Democratic majorities, so whatever his more conservative tendencies were, would be tempered. He did veto a bill expanding abortion access in MD, and when overridden, withheld funds for the initiative. I don't think there is any reason to believe that he will not vote for a nationwide abortion ban.

Hogan is most certainly not Pro-Choice, despite his rhetoric.

I am a moderate Republican. I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I voted twice for Hogan for Governor because he holds many of the same values that I hold. That said, there is no way that I could vote, even for a candidate that I like and support, that I know would caucus with the MAGA Republicans and would likely vote for their terrible policies. I have watched the Republican party pull further and further away from the Republican core (I'm a Reagan Republican). They've moved so far right that those of us that were the core of the Republican party from the 80's through the mid-2000's, are now considered RINOs and we no longer have a place in the party.

Hogan is very similar to me. But, whereas I could never see myself seeing eye-to-eye with the MAGA subgroup, Hogan has capitulated and said he would actually caucus with them. So he's lost me as a supporter.

2024 is the year of the pro choice election. Definitely in a place like Maryland. Hopefully even in some red areas that are now understanding that pro-choice is actually pro safe pregnancy and "pro life" is actually anti pregnancy and a dangerous policy for pregnancy.

I think those of us that think this way, are better off moving to the Democratic Party and pressuring them to the center. They don’t have as far to move the needle, and we’ll see more policies we agree with.

You’re a liar, just like your Dear Leader. Hogan is most assuredly not pro-choice.

I am embarrassed for you if you posted this thinking it means anything.
