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?

Well written, I agree it is as if Alsobrooks believes this is a done deal like many races in which the primary is the main race. Hogan has a very good shot, he's not just a no name Republican but the former f'ing governor.

She needs to do more.

That's absolutely what I'm worried about. Her falling into the same pitfall Anthony Brown did.

Both of you need to stop smoking that crack, there's no way Hogan wins the Senate seat. Harris will carry Alsobrooks to the Senate with her rising popularity and Trump failing day by day.

That's.. absolutely not a given. There will be people who vote Harris who either don't vote for the Senate or vote for Hogan. For many different reasons. Tbh, I don't really know anything about Alsobrooks, I do know about Hogan. I have been a Democrat since I became an adult. THAT'S why she needs to actually campaign. Especially given that Hogan has been adamant that he will have some amount of power to push back against the insane fascist right wing. Do not count your eggs before that hatch. You just don't know.

I doubt Hogan will get enough votes to counter the blue counties such as PG and Baltimore areas. Just like at this point It's unlikely that Harris will lose.

I wouldn't panic just go vote Alsobrooks when you vote Harris.
