May 14, 2024, 11:45 PM

Maryland's Democratic Senate primary concluded on May 14 with Angela Alsobrooks securing the nomination. Alsobrooks, who has the support of state party leaders and a strong base among Black voters in Prince George's and Baltimore, defeated Rep. David Trone, who invested over $60 million of his own money into the campaign. Alsobrooks received 48.6% of the vote, narrowly edging out Trone's 47.6%. Trone's significant financial expenditure was not enough to secure a victory. Alsobrooks will face former Republican Governor Larry Hogan in the November election, a race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Hogan, a popular two-term governor, aims to succeed retiring Democrat Ben Cardin. The primary was marked by high stakes and significant spending, highlighting its national implications.
