Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) is leaving zero doubt a Democrat will succeed him in the Senate when he retires in January.
That would have been an uncontroversial statement three months ago. No Republican has won a Senate seat in Maryland since 1980.in February with his late entrance into the race. He previously shrugged off the possibility of a run despite being heavily recruited by national Republicans.However, Cardin predicted Maryland voters would not elect a man who could tilt control of the Senate to Republicans.
Rep. David Trone , a liquor magnate who challenged Alsobrooks for the Democratic nomination, spent $60 million of his own money in the primary. His Tuesday loss deprives the party of a self-funder willing to dole out seemingly endless sums to protect the seat. Sen. Gary Peters , who leads Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, asserted that “we’ll do whatever it takes” to ensure Alsobrooks wins, while Daines said Maryland is “going to be a closely watched race” when asked about investing NRSC resources.
