Van Hollen is popular, unlike his other opponents. And more importantly, with a vote in the Senate at stake, many moderate Dems who supported him for Governor wouldn't support him this time around.
+1
State elections are one thing but no way I'd vote to tip the senate to the GOP.
+2. A vote for Hogan for Senate is a vote for Mitch McConnell. Maryland is not going to do that. Just ask Connie Morella, who finally lost to Van Hollen after a vote for her became a vote for Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich resigned from Congress in January 1999.
Chris beat Connie nearly 4 years later in November 1992. He won because Maryland Democrats re-drew the 8th Congressional district into a funny-looking shape that was much more heavily Democratic than the district from the previous decade.
*2002, not 1992.

Because dems hate him. Even the ones who vote for him.
They’ll do it on a state level, and it remains their dirty little shameful secret that no one needs to know about. But if gets put in a national office, the dems in the rest of the country will know MD dems voted for a republican.
And that CANNOT be abided.
I don't hate Hogan - he's been a decent governor. But I will not cast a vote that supports the GOP retaining control of the Senate. Has absolutely nothing to do with Hogan personally.

This is the reason. I'm not sure what it would take for me to vote for a GOP Senator. And I voted for Hogan for Governor.

I agree. Voted for Hogan for Governor and would consider him for President. Not for Senate. But maybe State Senate or State House.

No, he doesn’t. He has zero shot.
+1. I'd vote for him, but I don't think he would have a remote chance, unfortunately.

I think Van Hollen is up in 2022, go after his seat and pick him off. I would love to see a Senator Hogan!
