Maryland’s bitter and expensive Democratic Senate primary will come to a close Tuesday, as voters choose the nominee for a race that could be key to deciding control of the chamber in November. Democratic Rep. David Trone spent more than $60 million of his fortune from his wine retail store, swamping Maryland's airwaves with campaign ads in his race against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, who is vying to become the state’s first Black senator.
” Hogan must first win his own primary, in which he’s facing perennial candidate Robin Ficker, who has self-funded his race. Ficker has outspent Hogan, a vocal Donald Trump critic, on the airwaves ads saying Ficker would “stand with President Trump.” If he advances to the general election, Democrats plan to tie Hogan to the national GOP, particularly on the issue of abortion. Hogan told NBC News he would not support a national abortion ban, and cast himself as a bipartisan dealmaker.
