He’ll go from having a lot of power as gov. to having very little power in the senate.

He keeps saying he’ll do what’s right for MD. On most issues that would mean voting against his party.

Maryland is solidly blue, but it’s not a terribly progressive state, more moderate Democrats. It will be interesting to see how many of them will vote for Hogan out of protest since they already know that the state will go to Harris. It reminds me of how the polls failed to really capture Trump support in 2016.

It’s actually not going to be close. Alsobrooks will get about 54%, hogan 44%, and the usual 2% voting for random people.

Maryland is done counting and final results have her up by almost 12.

The gap to Harris is embarrassing for her. Can’t even blame it on racism and sexism. What it is is that a lot of people in Maryland actually know what she’s about who got overwhelmed by the straight party line general election voters.

Harris was also a pretty bad candidate put in a pretty bad spot. This is a really poor showing for Alsobrooks. She's practically begging for a primary challenger in 30.

No one will primary her because she’s a Black woman. Maryland is going to be stuck with this below replacement level Senator for 30 years.

No one will primary her because they would lose.

That’s not true. Anyone in the Congressional delegation could primary her and win, except maybe April Delaney. The reason they won’t is because she’s a Black woman. There is still antagonism in the certain quarters of the state Democrats to Van Hollen because he bigfooted Mfume to the other Senate seat. And there was a lot of behind the scenes maneuvering to get Mfume to endorse Alsobrooks and not run himself. It’s funny how people don’t consider it odd that there were only two primary candidates and one of those two was a DGAF self-funded multimillionaire that the state Democrats absolutely did everything in their power to destroy his reputation.

That's what Trone thought, and Alsobrooks walloped him, too.

Trone got screwed by the racist remark. Once that came out, he was done

She didn’t do anything. The entire state party took him down. Every single one one of them endorsed Alsobrooks. And as PP noted they even went so low as to call him a racist. They were mad that he dared to oppose their chosen candidate and did their best destroy him. The message is now loud and clear. The party picks our leaders so long as the state continues to vote uncritically for Democrats

Yes, it is. Specifically, that a black woman beat a rich white man in the primary and another rich white man in the general election.

I really liked Hogan and wanted to vote for him, I just didn’t want to contribute to a Republican/MAGA Senate majority under a Trump presidency. If Hogan had run as an independent, I’d have gladly voted for him. I hope he runs again in the future.

I think he would have won in a year that Trump was not on the ballot and Senate balance was not in question. A lot of people shared your exact reasoning.

The Senate balance is in question every election now.

Here is a list of people that would have beat Alsobrooks in a primary if they had run:
- Mfume
- Ivey
- Sarbanes
- Raskin
- Brown
- Ball

I also wonder how people can imagine how exactly none of these people ran for the seat. Of course they were all scared off by the formidable Alsobrooks!

Yes, they were. She won big, notwithstanding some people's racist and sexist beliefs - for example, yours.

Alsobrooks would have beat Raskin is probably one of the more delusional opinions that I’ve heard in a long time.

In the real world, which is the one I live in, Raskin chose not to run.

I'm saying he didn't run. You can waste your own time in "If Batman ran against Spiderman, who would win?" speculation.

Of the people who actually did run in the primary, Angela Alsobrooks got the most votes. And of the people who ran in the general election, Angela Alsobrooks got the most votes. That is why she - not David Trone, not Larry Hogan - is now the new senator-elect from Maryland. Because she won, and they lost.

That’s not true. Anyone in the Congressional delegation could primary her and win, except maybe April Delaney. The reason they won’t is because she’s a Black woman. There is still antagonism in the certain quarters of the state Democrats to Van Hollen because he bigfooted Mfume to the other Senate seat. And there was a lot of behind the scenes maneuvering to get Mfume to endorse Alsobrooks and not run himself. It’s funny how people don’t consider it odd that there were only two primary candidates and one of those two was a DGAF self-funded multimillionaire that the state Democrats absolutely did everything in their power to destroy his reputation.

That's what Trone thought, and Alsobrooks walloped him, too.

She didn’t do anything. The entire state party took him down. Every single one one of them endorsed Alsobrooks. And as PP noted they even went so low as to call him a racist. They were mad that he dared to oppose their chosen candidate and did their best destroy him. The message is now loud and clear. The party picks our leaders so long as the state continues to vote uncritically for Democrats

Yes, it is. Specifically, that a black woman beat a rich white man in the primary and another rich white man in the general election.

Here is a list of people that would have beat Alsobrooks in a primary if they had run:
- Mfume
- Ivey
- Sarbanes
- Raskin
- Brown
- Ball

I also wonder how people can imagine how exactly none of these people ran for the seat. Of course they were all scared off by the formidable Alsobrooks!

Yes, they were. She won big, notwithstanding some people's racist and sexist beliefs - for example, yours.

Alsobrooks would have beat Raskin is probably one of the more delusional opinions that I’ve heard in a long time.

In the real world, which is the one I live in, Raskin chose not to run.

You think he chose not to run because he would have lost? Lol.

I'm saying he didn't run. You can waste your own time in "If Batman ran against Spiderman, who would win?" speculation.

Of the people who actually did run in the primary, Angela Alsobrooks got the most votes. And of the people who ran in the general election, Angela Alsobrooks got the most votes. That is why she - not David Trone, not Larry Hogan - is now the new senator-elect from Maryland. Because she won, and they lost.

That’s a lot of words to admit that Alsobrooks was not an individually formidable candidate. Just a lot of stronger candidates didn’t run.

I forgot and the criticism of Alsobrooks on here weird when Hogan ran an abysmal campaign. He was invisible, didn't do enough in person events, completely hid from questions on how he'd handle being a Republican in Trump's party, and evaded basic questions on issues like abortion (which was on the ballot) and immigration (the biggest issue in the election).

I think any Democrat would have beat him. The party chose Alsobrooks. She's a smidge more progressive than is my preference (she's not as progressive as people paint her -- a lot of people reflexively think black women are very progressive) but she ran a great campaign, was terrific in the debate, and really put the legwork in.

Hogan should be embarrassed by his performance and it does not bode well for the GOP in Maryland that someone with his profile and electoral history in the state did this poorly. He has a bunch of built in advantages and didn't even come close.
