Former President Donald Trump announced his support for Maryland Senate candidate Larry Hogan, dispelling rumors of potential attacks on the Republican governor. Trump stated that supporting Hogan aligns with his goal of helping Republicans regain the majority in the Senate. However, Hogan’s spokesman emphasized that the governor did not endorse Trump in previous elections and remains focused on serving the best interests of his party and the country.
While Democrats expressed concerns over a potential alliance between Hogan and Trump, key Republican leaders such as Senator Steve Daines continued to support Hogan’s candidacy. The endorsement from Trump sparked a new line of attacks from Democrats, who warned voters of the consequences of electing a candidate backed by the former president. Hogan, known for his independent stance within the GOP, has distanced himself from Trump and embraced more progressive positions to appeal to a broader range of voters in Maryland.
