If the party wants to coast to winning the Maryland seat, it will have to mend the scars left by the battle between Rep. David Trone and Angela Alsobrooks.
Senate Democrats’ ugliest primary comes to a close Tuesday in reliably blue Maryland. Now they must heal the resulting political wounds before November — or risk losing the seat to popular former Gov. Larry Hogan.
Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks addresses supporters at a February event in Baltimore. | Brakkton Booker/POLITICO Maryland stands out this cycle as the only major internecine conflict, and it’s gone far differently than two key primaries last cycle. In 2022, Democrats largely avoided nomination fights and unsightly drama, even in contested primary states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Of course, that will still be a challenge, particularly as general election voters have now seen intra-party attack ads that weaken both Alsobrooks and Trone ahead of the general election. And there’s also the question of whether Trone would use his deep pockets of personal wealth to help Alsobrooks if he were to lose.
