Larry Hogan was a pretty good governor, and it would be dumb for any conservative to oppose his Senate bid

Former President Donald Trump supporters have become purists in recent years, and in a different way than Republicans normally demand perfection from politicians on their side. That demand for purity could help Democrats keep control of the Senate this year.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, has angered Trumpers for regularly criticizing the former president and refusing to vote for him. Hogan has also angered Republicans who point out his moderate, and they would say lackluster, record as governor.
