Former President Donald Trump and the Democratic Governors Association were a match made in political heaven in Maryland, working independently to nominate Dan Cox for governor in the Republican primary.

Cox was a long shot to win the GOP gubernatorial nod in the deep-blue state. That is, until Trump provided one of his powerful, signature endorsements and the DGA meddled in the primary, spending $1 million on advertising to boost the state legislator’s name identification and appeal among grassroots Republicans. Armed with both, Cox routed Kelly Schulz, a centrist who fell 56% to 40% despite being backed by popular outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan.

“Dan Cox is a Q-Anon conspiracy theorist with an extremist track record who is unfit for office — and that’s just what his fellow Maryland Republicans like Larry Hogan have said about him,” DGA Executive Director Noam Lee said in a statement. “His record includes busing insurrectionists to the deadly January 6th rally and calling [former Vice President] Mike Pence a traitor while running on plans to completely ban abortion with no exceptions and make it easier for criminals to carry guns.

“Md. Dems should not take this general election lightly,” tweeted Josh Kurtz, the founding editor of Maryland Matters, an online publication focusing on government and politics in the Old Line State.

Who is Matthew Pottinger? Former Trump national security official testifies at Jan. 6 hearingMatthew Pottinger, a former National Security Council official, testified before the House Jan. 6 committee's prime-time public hearing. I'll thank Cassidy Hutchinson for all of this. Without her, these people would not have the backbone to do what they are doing - standing up for our country & Constitution. Trump’s man! Just trying to save his own skin! To me he came across as a total tool. Unsurprising considering who he worked for.
