What to watch in Tueday's Maryland US Senate primaries
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press declared Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan the winners in their primaries for the U.S. Senate in Maryland on Tuesday.
The race is expected to be competitive in November, when Hogan will try to become the first Republican from Maryland to win a U.S. Senate seat since 1980. If Alsobrooks wins this fall, she would become the first Black U.S. senator in the state’s history.
The AP only declares a winner once it can determine that a trailing candidate can’t close the gap and overtake the vote leader.
Here’s a look at how the AP called these races.
