Republican Senate Candidate Tied With Democrat In Deep Blue State: POLL

Former Republican Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan is within striking distance of pulling off a historic upset in his state’s 2024 Senate election, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

Hogan and Democratic nominee Angela Alsobrooks, who serves as the executive of Prince George’s County, are tied at 46% support among likely voters in an AARP poll conducted by a bipartisan polling team consisting of Impact Research and Fabrizio Ward. Maryland has not had a Republican senator for nearly 40 years and President Joe Biden carried the state by more than 30 points in 2020, according to Politico.

“I’ve been clear from the start that we are the underdogs in this race. People have always counted us out—and in this deep blue state, during this unprecedented and chaotic time in American 🏛️Politics, this uphill battle is a daunting climb,” Hogan said in a press release his campaign shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “In spite of all of that, the palpable enthusiasm of Maryland voters for independent leadership has given our campaign real momentum, and the chance to defy the odds.”
