Maryland Democrats are trying to decide which Senate candidate is best positioned to beat Republican Larry Hogan, a popular former governor. The leading choices for voters Tuesday in the crowded Democratic field are David Trone, who’s in his third term in Congress, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.

Signs are pictured outside an early voting center on Thursday, May 9, 2024, in Rockville, Md. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump look to pad their delegate totals in Maryland Tuesday, May 14. Maryland voters will also decide contested primaries in a Senate race. Former GOP Gov. Larry Hogan ’s late entry into the race has given Republicans hope of a possible pick-up in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican U.S. senator since 1980.

Lisa Hartman, 65, voted at the same site for Alsobrooks, noting the candidate’s long list of high-profile supporters, including Gov. Wes Moore, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Rep. Steny Hoyer and former Sen. Barbara Mikulski.One man was a Capitol Police officer. The other rioted on Jan. 6.

“I would love to, in the next race, vote for him, but I won’t because of that situation,” Hartman said, though she added later that she could change her mind. “Voters across Maryland know that I’m in the best position to beat Larry Hogan in November,” Trone said in a statement Friday. “Throughout this campaign, we’ve built a broad coalition led by working people who are excited for change.”

Preserving reproductive freedom is an issue that Maryland Democrats hope will help them in November, as it has in other states since the Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the constitutional right to abortion. A constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to abortion is on the Maryland ballot in November.
