Ben Cardin this November, when control for the Senate is up for grabs. The longtime safe blue seat, in a state President Joe Biden carried by over 30 points in 2020, is now suddenly competitive, complicating the calculus for Democrats as they look to defend around half a dozen more vulnerable seats in order to retain their slim Senate majority.

Meanwhile, Democrats remain divided over who to select as their nominee in the May 14 primary. It’s become an increasingly contentious two-way contest between Rep. David Trone, a three-term congressman and founder of the beverage retailer Total Wine & More, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, a former state attorney for the county.

With the contours of the race are still taking shape, Democrats are already signaling they plan to nationalize the race and tie Hogan to the most extreme elements of his party, even as Hogan tries to run as an independent-minded candidate and keep his distance from former President Donald Trump.

“He’s going to vote and caucus with Republicans. So let’s get that idea that he’s some sort of, you know, bipartisan individual – that’s just not true,” Trone told CNN during an interview at his campaign headquarters. “He’s Mitch McConnell’s prized recruit.”

One advantage we have is that Hogan does not really want to do this run for the Senate seat. We could demoralize him and minimize his candidacy, as we have in a few other races.
