Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, the Republican nominee for retiring Democratic Senator Ben Cardin's seat in Maryland, has advocated for restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. Hogan, who describes himself as a 'Catholic Republican,' has stated that his recent pivot on abortion is not a major transformation but rather a refinement of his position. This stance has garnered significant attention, with leading Democrats expressing disbelief at his new 'pro-choice' position. Hogan's advocacy for Roe v. Wade aligns with the broader Democratic push to restore national abortion rights, with some Democrats even supporting the suspension of the filibuster to achieve this goal.
