Maryland Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan cut a path all his own this week when he preemptively implored the public to 'respect' the jury's verdict in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial.
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan speaks to supporters during a primary night election party Tuesday, May 14, 2024, in Annapolis, Md., after he won the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat opened by Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin’s retirement. (AP …Maryland Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan cut a path all his own this week when he preemptively implored the public to “respect” the jury’s verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
That is the sort of reaction Mr. Hogan warned against in a statement released moments before Mr. Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of trying to cover up hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. Mr. Hogan, who served two terms as governor in deep blue Maryland, is running for an open Senate seat against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Hogan is making a calculated gamble that the risk of infuriating parts of the GOP base is worth the reward in Maryland, where Democrats have roughly a 2-to-1 voter registration advantage over Republicans, according to political analysts.
