Vice President Kamala Harris has focused on stopping gun violence during a campaign stop in Maryland to support U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Angela Alsobrooks in a race that could determine control of the Senate.
Vice President Kamala Harris talks about steps to prevent gun violence on Friday, June 7, 2024 in Landover, Md., during a campaign stop in support of Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, who is the U.S. Senate Democratic nominee in a race for a seat that could determine control of the Senate.

Alsobrooks defeated U.S. Rep. David Trone last month, after the congressman spent about $62 million of his personal fortune to self-finance his campaign. Now, she’s running in a competitive race against popular Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan for a Senate seat that is opening with the retirement of Sen. Ben Cardin, a Democrat.
The county executive, who noted that gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in the U.S., also said she would not back down from holding gun manufacturers accountable “for the immense harm that they have caused our state and our country.” Hogan, who won enough crossover Democrats to win two terms as governor in heavily blue Maryland, has been one of former President Donald Trump’s sharpest Republican critics. But Van Hollen said Hogan’s former NRA rating suggests his politics are closer to Trump than he likes to admit.
