National politics

Wealthy Maryland congressman has said he will back Democrat Angela Alsobrooks’ U.S. Senate bid in the fall, but has not signaled whether he’ll become a major financial supporter of her campaign.

Would public opinion be swayed if we were witnessing, say, Stormy Daniels and Hope Hicks’ testimonies and facial expressions in real time? According to two media experts: Not really.

With a massive financial disadvantage, the Alsobrooks team had to be patient and wait until the very end of the campaign season to run most of their TV advertising ― still one of the most reliable ways to introduce a candidate to voters.

Maryland voters can expect national money to flood into the state as the two parties duke it out. Here are some of the key issues that voters will be seeing and hearing over the next six months.

Angela Alsobrooks won the Democratic primary for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday night and will face off against Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan in the general election.

Democratic voters — early voting is over and election day is Tuesday — have to decide not just who is better for the job, David Trone or Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. They have to decide if his spending so much of his own money to win an election is, well, right.

Maryland voters also will be asked this year to enshrine the right to abortion in the state’s constitution. The state already protects the right to abortion under state law and Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1.
