— In their first and only debate of an unusually competitive Maryland Senate race Thursday, Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and former Gov.
Larry Hogan sparred over the issue of abortion and whether the deep blue state would be best represented by a staunch Democrat or an anti-Donald Trump Republican.
Hogan distanced himself from the former president and current GOP presidential nominee, framing himself as someone willing to put "country over party."
Alsobrooks dismissed that frame, arguing that a vote for Hogan would mean a vote for a Senate Republican majority that would threaten abortion rights and support for Ukraine.
Hogan criticized Alsobrooks and "both sides" of the aisle for "trying to change the rules so they can pack the court."
