Republican and Democratic voters in Maryland largely agree on one thing: the state's U.S. Senate race between Republican Larry Hogan and Democrat Angela Alsobrooks has unusually high stakes this year.

Peyton McDonald, a student at the University of Maryland, poses on campus after listening to Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks talk about her U.S. Senate bid during a campaign stop in College Park, Md., on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024. Michael, who describes himself as a far-right voter, was unhappy about Hogan's write-in vote of former President Ronald Reagan instead of Trump for president in 2020. He didn't agree with Hogan's COVID-19 policies, either. But Michael said he believes Hogan is good for Maryland overall, especially compared to the alternative.

The potential for the race to determine Senate control has weighed heavily on the minds of many voters, who don't see this much in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1.If Hogan wins Maryland’s open Senate seat, Republicans will have a clear path to a majority. Republican Liza Hamill said she voted for Hogan, because she believes he was the best governor Maryland has had for “a very, very long time.” Hamill, who also voted for Trump, said Hogan's criticism of the former president didn't bother her.

Alsobrooks, chief executive of majority-Black Prince George’s County, would be Maryland’s first Black senator. Making a campaign stop with retiring Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin in her home county last week, she noted palpable energy at early voting centers.
