Angela Alsobrooks Wins Democratic Nomination for Maryland Senate, Will Face Larry Hogan

May 15, 2024, 01:51 AM

Maryland's Democratic Senate primary concluded with Angela Alsobrooks securing the nomination over Rep. David Trone, who spent over $60 million of his own money on the campaign. Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County Executive, will face former Republican Governor Larry Hogan in the general election. Hogan, who has been a prominent figure in Maryland politics, easily won the GOP nomination. The race is significant as it could influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, with the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Ben Cardin. The primary was marked by high spending and intense competition, making it the most expensive race in state history. Alsobrooks received 48.6% of the vote, narrowly defeating Trone who garnered 47.6%, and consolidated backing from other Democratic candidates who dropped out.
