Cardin claims Maryland is ‘not in play’ after Hogan-Alsobrooks Senate race is confirmed

0:00

Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland is confident that a Democrat will succeed him in the Senate when he retires in January. With Angela Alsobrooks securing the Democratic nomination, Cardin believes the state will not be in play for Republicans in the upcoming election.

Despite popular Republican Governor Larry Hogan entering the race, Cardin remains optimistic about Democratic victory. Hogan’s popularity in the state is acknowledged, but Cardin believes Maryland voters will not elect a candidate who could potentially shift control of the Senate to Republicans.

While Republicans see Hogan as a strong contender due to his centrist approach and criticisms of former President Donald Trump, Democrats are mobilizing to support Alsobrooks and ensure her success in the election. Cardin and other Democratic leaders are confident that Alsobrooks’ background and appeal to younger voters will bring success in November.

Although Alsobrooks faced skepticism in polls against Hogan, recent surveys have shown her leading by a significant margin. Democrats are counting on highlighting Hogan’s ties to the Republican Party and positioning Alsobrooks as the best choice for Maryland in the general election.

As Cardin prepares to retire, he is confident that Maryland voters will rally behind the Democratic candidate and reject Republican control of the Senate. Despite the challenges ahead, Democrats are determined to secure the Senate seat in Maryland and maintain their majority in the Senate.
