A county executive, Angela Alsobrooks, is setting her sights on the Senate seat in Maryland, and she’s ruffling some feathers within the Democratic Party. The latest news, hot off the presses, is that Rep. Maxwell Frost from Florida has thrown his support behind Alsobrooks, adding to the list of House Democrats backing her bid. But while some Dems are team Angela, others, led by wealthy wine retailer Rep. David Trone, are singing a different tune.

Trone, who had a major oopsie when he let a racial slur slip in a recent House Budget Committee meeting, is currently leading the pack in the Democratic primary. But with nearly 40% of Democratic voters still scratching their heads and undecided, it’s still anyone’s game. In the blue corner, we have Alsobrooks trailing behind Trone in recent polls, but she’s not throwing in the towel just yet.
And in the red corner, we have former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan stepping into the ring. Republicans are salivating at the chance to snatch a Senate seat in this historically blue state. They see Hogan’s name and his moderate appeal as their golden ticket to victory. Early polls already show him with a comfortable lead over both Alsobrooks and Trone. It’s like watching a political game of tug-of-war, and right now, the GOP is winning.
But hold onto your hats, folks – this race is just getting started. With the general election still on the horizon, the stage is set for a showdown between the Dems and the GOP. Will Alsobrooks pull off an underdog victory and give the establishment a run for their money? Or will Hogan swoop in and turn the Senate seat red? The plot thickens, and the drama unfolds as the battle for Maryland’s Senate seat heats up. Let the political games begin!
