Republican Senate nominee Larry Hogan doubled down Wednesday on his pledge to be a “pro-choice” senator, promising to support legislation codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade that guaranteed a right to an abortion up to 26 weeks.

But his Democratic opponent, Angela Alsobrooks, shot back Wednesday, arguing that Hogan’s time as Maryland’s governor proves that voters “can’t trust” his newfound position on abortion.

Political analysts say it was necessary Hogan for come out in support of some abortion protections if he hopes to win a Senate seat this fall, as abortion continues to be one of the issues driving voters to the polls since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

“Especially in a place like Maryland, the fact that Hogan chose it to be the topic of his first general election ad is a clear sign that this is an issue he wants to get ahead of,” Jacob Rubashkin, deputy editor for Inside Elections, said Wednesday. He added that Hogan “clearly sees abortion as his No. 1 vulnerability in this race.”

Alsobrooks is such an untrustworthy politician, she campaigned on trying to paint Trone as somehow MAGA.

She is a flip-flopping, inexperienced, disaster. Isn’t there enough disfunction in the senate already ??

Her campaign pointed out that Trone had donated a lot of money to MAGA Republicans. Which is true.

I’m curious what the excuse will be when she loses to Hogan in the fall.

Unlikely to happen. Hogan lead up through March. But polling in May has shown that Alsobrooks currently is favored to win. She only has to win in the largest jurisdictions. 5 of the top 6 largest jurisdictions in MD (out of 24) are all very strongly Democratic. Montgomery County, PG County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Howard County (all but #5 Anne Arundel County) are staunchly liberal and have 72% of the voters in the state. It's not going to be that close. She currently is polling in the lead and those counties are all pretty much majority in for her. I would be surprised if Hogan were to come within 8 points or less.

Hogan was a popular two-term governor, but most voters in those jurisdictions know the major differences between governor and Congress.

Let’s meet here on Nov 6 and see how you’re feeling.

For better or worse, Unlike the progressives, Republicans (even MAGA) will hold their nose and vote for the R instead of letting a PG county dem machine politician take office.

The MAGA vote is only relevant for the primary. The Democratic vote is what’s important for the general. You’re laughing at Hogan now but this is exactly what will win him the election in the fall.

+1. I am volunteering on his campaign and am surprised and pleased to see the number of independents who are expressing support.

No, I'm not voting for a Republican for national office ever again, or at least until they get the MAGAs completely out.

I think most pro-choice independents know what is at stake.

Which is why they will vote for the independent, pro-choice candidate, Hogan.

You need another old, white, republican male in the senate to tell you what you can do with your vaginas?

Hogan is saying, "Ignore everything I've said and done over my entire time in public life, just take me at my slippery words right now!"

The man has a public record. It's not pro choice.

Politicians may or may not be trustworthy. But I certainly trust Hogan over you.

Ok, weird? You don't have to trust me, I don't care. I'm not running for office. You also don't have to trust Hogan. You just have to look at what he has done, vs. what he says now.

And those ads where he says he will do what's best for Marylanders? Marylanders comes with an asterisk. SOME Marylanders. For example, he's made it clear that Marylanders, for him, doesn't include people who live in Baltimore. Remember in 2015 when Hogan canceled the Baltimore Red Line, redistributed the money to road projects in counties that voted for him, and announced the whole thing with a map that literally erased Baltimore?
