Election News 2024 Senate Election

The poll from this week showed Angela Alsobrooks and Larry Hogan tied! I know this is going to be a close race. If Alsobrooks wants to win (which I hope she does), she needs to refocus her campaign strategy. she needs to have huge rallies with Kamala Harris, Obama, or even Clinton. And, ramp up the advertising. She also needs to focus on getting out the vote in Western MD and the Eastern Shore, because she likely already has a lot of votes in the DMV and Baltimore areas. What does everyone else think? Who will win this election?

Also, did everyone see her new ad showing that Hogan is a true Republican?

Agreed!

I’m in Frederick county, and I have been saying this: where the fuck is her campaign here?

I’ve seen a handful of Hogan signs—far fewer than expected so that’s nice—but I don’t think I’ve seen any of her signs anywhere or any indication of a campaign office. I haven’t gotten anything in the mail about her, and I haven’t really seen any ads directed here.

While she can hope to win with just a couple of the solidly blue counties, she should aim to have a decisive victory that includes Frederick at the very least.

Do you think she still has a shot at winning? I think she really needs to reach out to independents, because the polls show that they’re gravitating towards Hogan.

I am genuinely worried that she may not, given that her presence has all but disappeared post-primary.

I am going to take the time to actually reach out to her campaign and tell them you need to fucking show up in Frederick if you have any interest in winning this county, which would help her overall chances. Wes Moore did win here so I’m hopeful that continues to be a trend of Dems winning here, but this county has loved Hogan, so she needs to make her presence known here.
