The vice president will bolster Alsobrooks in her fight against Republican nominee Larry Hogan in Maryland, a state key to Democratic control of the Senate.
Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks celebrates her victory in Maryland’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on May 14. Vice President Harris plans to visit Maryland on Friday to campaign alongside her friend and Democratic Senate nominee Angela D. Alsobrooks, a longtime ally with a tough general election fight ahead of her that could determine whether the party holds control of the Senate.
Alsobrooks would be Maryland’s first Black person to join the Senate, and just the third Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate nationwide, after Carol Moseley Braun and Harris. Last July, according to a Biden-Harris official, the vice president and Alsobrooks sat down at a Delta Sigma Theta conference to discuss campaign strategy for her primary.Both women have leaned on each other throughout the years, occupying spaces where few women of color have been present.
