Explain? I think he will be supported by Democrats until he decides to retire.

With Van Hollen in the other seat, MD Dems from Baltimore might not be too keen on having two white men from MoCo.

Presuming that Cardin is stepping down, the hypothetical primary race would be Raskin, Calvin Ball and Mfume. Maybe Anthony Brown and Jawando also jump in. The only way Raskin wins the primary is Black voters get split 3-4 ways. However, he might also have to beat someone like O’Malley too, who could also run. I have a hard time seeing how Raskin would have broad appeal outside MoCo. He would basically have the Tom Perez coalition and we all see how well that worked for Perez.

The problem isn't so much Hogan, it's the crazy MAGA republican party.

The MAGA republican party is dead, The more moderate republicans and the more moderate democrats are going to be coming forward. Raskin isn't a moderate.

And can we kill the myth that Hogan was a decent governor please? He engaged in so much self dealing and worked to enrich himself as much as Trump would, plus he killed or harmed public transportation projects that would have benefited the state. What jobs came to Maryland as a result of Hogan? Did he ever do anything successful? Wasn’t his big purchase of Covid tests a scam? Everything he ever did was a scam. He’s a mini Trump. At least Raskin has actually done things.

Nah, he was good. You sound like one of his loud twitter critics who were mad he played goalie against some of the general assemblies' crazier ideas. Good thing 71% of residents disagree with you.

Instead of ad hominem attacks, why don’t you explain what was so “good” about him? Did he get any new jobs in MD? Did he save any money? Did he do anything? Why is the bar for Republicans so low that “not an insurrectionist traitor” is sufficient to become a United States Senator?

He was pretty good on covid policy. The state got and has maintained its AAA bond rating for the first time in almost 30 years.

He didnt raise taxes, unlike MOM. Purple line will be completed.

Also, Hogan was governor while the national economy was booming, O’Malley was governor during a catastrophic recession where people lost enormous wealth and that impacted the state’s coffers greatly. You can’t just pretend there is no context. Hogan is kind of a nothingburger, and his stance on abortion will probably doom him anyway.

Oh yes, good old governor O’Malley! I especially loved it when he taxed THE RAIN.

But only for some, not for everyone. And it was mostly Montgomery County.

Was he “taxing the rain” for funsies or was he taxing the rain because the REPUBLICANS manufactured an economic catastrophe?

Context MATTERS.

What policies do Republicans support that will make MY life better?

Persecuting immigrants doesn’t make my life better.
Persecuting trans kids doesn’t make my life better.
Making abortion illegal doesn’t make my life better.
Lowering taxes on rich people doesn’t make my life better.
Blowing up middle eastern countries doesn’t make my life better.

Don’t vote Republican- they have no plans to make your life better!

You seem like a hyper partisan democrat. Which I suppose is fine and good for you, but does not do much for this discourse of this thread between two specific candidates- a current congressman, and the soon to be done MD governor. You can keep your talking points to yourself.

Hogan would not win a presidential run because he’s too moderate.
