[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, giving the GOP control of the senate impacts judicial appointments and any SCOTUS replacements. It should be a non-starter for democrats and independents to support this candidacy.

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.”[/quote]

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 ??[/quote]
Her campaign pointed out that Trone had donated a lot of money to MAGA Republicans. Which is true. [/quote]
I’m curious what the excuse will be when she loses to Hogan in the fall. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Let’s meet here on Nov 6 and see how you’re feeling. [/quote]
