Maryland's Democrat U.S. Senate primary and general election race
Angela Alsobrooks defeated Rep. David Trone in Maryland's Democrat U.S. Senate primary, setting the stage for a high-stakes general election against former Gov. Larry Hogan. Hogan's late entry into the race has complicated the Democrats' efforts in Maryland and nationally. His moderate appeal poses a challenge to Democrats in a state that has been consistently Republican since 1986. Hogan's candidacy is forcing Democrats to divert resources from other vulnerable seats, potentially benefiting Republicans nationwide.
