As the Maryland U.S. Senate race heats up, former Republican Governor Larry Hogan remains optimistic despite trailing in recent polls.
On the campaign trail in Anne Arundel County, Hogan emphasized the importance of cross-party support, encouraging Democrats to split their tickets and vote for him alongside President Biden.
Hogan, known for his independent approach, aims to attract a diverse voter base by promoting bipartisan communication.
He also addressed concerns about national unrest following the election and pledged to uphold a peaceful transition of power.
With abortion rights at the forefront of the campaign, Hogan has committed to voting to codify Roe v. Wade while distancing himself from former President Donald Trump.
The outcome in deep blue Maryland could be pivotal, as Hogan believes he can pull off a surprise victory.
