The presidential primary may be decided, but election season marches on
. Voters in several states, including Maryland and West Virginia, chose nominees on Tuesday in critical races that could decide the balance of power on Capitol Hill next year. Here are some early takeaways from Tuesday's primaries: HOGAN: GAME-CHANGER OR SACRIFICIAL LAMB? Maryland's former Republican governor, Larry Hogan, easily won his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate seat opened by Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin's retirement.
For the Maryland version of this, expect Democrats who previously praised Hogan's anti-Trump stances to paint him as a threat to abortion rights and entitlements because he has said he'd caucus with Republicans, which could give the GOP a Senate majority. That could make for a tough road for Hogan to win a state that Biden won by 33 percentage points.
