Ben Cardin (D-MD).<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) endorsed Angela Alsobrooks in the Senate race to replace Cardin, who announced in May of last year that he would not seek reelection in <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024<\/a>. Alsobrooks, who is the executive for Prince George\u2019s County, and Rep. David Trone (D-MD), who has been in office since 2019, are the leading Democratic candidates in the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m supporting Angela for U.S. Senate because she\u2019s spent her career truly listening to people and coming up with innovative solutions to benefit the community,\u201d Frost said in a statement. \u201cThe people closest to the problem are often closest to the solution.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m all in for Angela because she\u2019ll be all in for us,\u201d the Florida congressman continued.<\/p>\n<p>Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) have endorsed Alsobrooks as well, creating a divide within the Democratic Party. Trone, a wealthy wine retailer, has the backing of the House\u2019s top Democratic leaders, such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA).<\/p>\n<p>Trone, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/2937304\/david-trone-maryland-senate-bid-racial-slur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faced backlash<\/a> after he used a racial slur in a recent House Budget Committee meeting, currently holds a slim lead over Alsobrooks in the Democratic primary, garnering 34% support among registered Democrats compared to Alsobrooks\u2019s 27% in a recent <em>Washington Post<\/em> poll.\u00a0However, nearly 40% of Democratic voters remain undecided on who they\u2019d back in the primary.<\/p>\n<p>The eventual Democratic nominee will compete in November, likely against former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2847355\/larry-hogan-launching-senate-maryland-campaign-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>entry into the race<\/a> in February was viewed as a golden opportunity for Republicans, who view the former governor\u2019s name brand and centrist reputation within Maryland as a chance for the GOP to win a Senate seat in a state that has long been a Democratic stronghold.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The former governor had left his plans vague following his departure from the governor\u2019s mansion, stoking rumors that he was planning to run for president on a third-party ticket. However, his Senate candidacy silenced any speculation that he would be running against Joe Biden or Donald Trump, the likely presidential nominees.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Post<\/em> poll showed voters would support Hogan over Trone, 49% to 37%, and Hogan over Alsobrooks, 50% to 36%, though those margins are expected to narrow as each party reserves general election spending. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A House Democrat, Rep.
