Kemp, known for endorsing \u2063a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-judge-says-abortion-ban-too-restrictive-and-must-allow-exceptions\/\" title=\"Texas judge deems abortion ban excessively strict, mandates inclusion of exceptions.\">restrictive \u2063abortion law<\/a> in Georgia, will feature in a fundraiser for Hogan. \u200dThis effort by Maryland Democrats highlights \u2064concerns about Hogan\u2019s potential impact\u2064 on \u2062abortion laws, despite his self-professed pro-choice stance and intentions to codify Roe v. Wade. The claim is that\u2062 Hogan aligning with \u2062Kemp and \u200dother anti-choice \u200bRepublicans could lead to more restrictive \u2064abortion policies \u200cnationwide. The fundraiser in\u2063 Atlanta,\u2064 happening close to the anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, has tiered donation levels attracting significant funds, illustrating both Kemp&#8217;s reciprocation of \u2064support Hogan \u2062previously provided and \u2064Kemp\u2019s controversial position in the wider \u200bRepublican context, particularly regarding\u200d his tensions with\u2064 Donald Trump. The narrative is\u2062 part of a larger Democratic strategy to emphasize abortion \u2063rights in political contests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Maryland Democrats are attempting to tie Republican Senate candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/larry-hogan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Larry Hogan\">Larry Hogan<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/education-insanity-top-10-stories-of-the-week-vol-28\/\" title=\"Education Insanity: Top 10 Stories Of The Week (Vol. 28)\">anti-abortion views<\/a> of Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/brian-kemp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Larry Hogan\">Brian Kemp<\/a> (R-GA), who will headline a fundraiser for Hogan in Atlanta on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The event, which comes one day after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/live-blog-posts\/democrats-trump-center-abortion-warnings-second-dobbs-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"two-year anniversary\">two-year anniversary<\/a> of the Supreme Court striking down <em>Roe v.

Hogan came to the aid of Kemp with fundraisers and public praise during the Georgia governor\u2019s intense 2022 reelection battle as Trump and his allies sought Kemp\u2019s ouster.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Former Maryland Gov.
