Larry Hogan has transformed Maryland’s sleepy Senate race into a top-tier contest in the fight for the Senate majority.
Politics Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan , followed by Andy DePaola, walks through the kitchen of DePaola's Bagel and Brunch in Stevensville, Md., Friday, April 12, 2024, as he campaigns for the U.S. Senate. – Andy DePaola welcomed Larry Hogan to his family's restaurant with a big smile and a handshake. The warning came a few minutes later.
As Trump loyalists eye the 67-year-old businessman with skepticism, Democrats are counting on abortion rights to make Hogan's historic challenge even harder. But the R after his name may ultimately prove the most serious liability for Hogan in a state Trump lost by 33 points four years ago. When pressed to explain his concerns about MAGA, and whether he views Trump as a threat to U.S. democracy, Hogan parsed his words carefully.
The anti-Hogan event was a reminder that voters in his gubernatorial elections may have been more willing to overlook party affiliation than they will be in a Senate contest that could tilt the balance of power in Washington toward Republicans. Democrats suggest he would support a federal abortion ban, but Hogan insisted in an interview that he would not.
Asked about the issues that matter most to him, Hogan said he’s most focused on ending the divisiveness in Washington, followed by the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, crime and the economy.
