The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/erickson-let-david-slay-goliath\/\" title=\"ERICKSON: Let David Slay Goliath\">ad features<\/a> various clips of Hogan \u2062affirming his\u2064 identity as a &#8220;die-hard lifelong Republican&#8221; and expressing\u200b his refusal to support the Democratic nominee or to\u2063 label himself as a moderate. This tactic aims to highlight Hogan\u2019s alignment with the GOP, contrasting\u2064 with his \u2062attempts to\u2064 portray \u2064himself as an independent leader in the deeply Democratic state.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan&#8217;s campaign has responded by denouncing the \u200dad, claiming it reflects panic from Alsobrooks and asserting that Hogan \u200bhas a history of bipartisan cooperation and independence. They argue that Marylanders recognize Hogan&#8217;s ability to work across party lines despite his Republican affiliation. the ad illustrates the ongoing tension and strategic maneuvering in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-look-to-retake-u-s-senate-in-2022-here-are-the-four-races-to-watch\/\" title=\"GOP Look To Retake U.S. Senate In 2022: Here Are The Four Races To Watch\">competitive race<\/a> for the Maryland Senate seat.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Alsobrooks knocks &lsquo;lifelong Republican&rsquo; Larry Hogan in new Maryland Senate ad<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1727183\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Maryland Democratic Senate nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3133321\/angela-alsobrooks-ride-momentum-kamala-harris-maryland-senate-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Angela Alsobrooks\">Angela Alsobrooks<\/a> on Thursday unveiled an ad featuring past clips of her Republican rival, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3135459\/alsobrooks-hogan-dead-heat-maryland-senate-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Larry Hogan\">Larry Hogan<\/a>, closely identifying himself with the GOP.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The 30-second montage shows the former two-term centrist governor stating in various interviews that he&rsquo;s a &ldquo;die-hard, lifelong Republican,&rdquo; couldn&rsquo;t &ldquo;possibly support the Democratic nominee,&rdquo; and would not &ldquo;call myself a moderate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hogan has since said he will vote for neither Vice President Kamala Harris nor former President Donald Trump and plans to instead cast an unspecified &ldquo;symbolic&rdquo; vote.

The 30-second video features clips of Hogan, a former two-term centrist governor, declaring himself a &#8220;die-hard, lifelong Republican,&#8221; stating he could never support the Democratic nominee and rejecting the label of &#8220;moderate.&#8221; Although Hogan has announced he will not vote for either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump and plans to cast an unspecified &#8220;symbolic&#8221; vote instead, his campaign claims that his biggest challenge in predominantly Democratic Maryland is distancing himself from the national party. The Alsobrooks campaign responded by asserting that Hogan&#8217;s statements clearly indicate he would support Mitch McConnell in gaining Senate control. In contrast, Hogan&#8217;s team criticized the ad as a sign of desperation and emphasized that Marylanders recognize him as an independent leader who has consistently worked across party lines for practical solutions. They also accused Alsobrooks of relying solely on her party affiliation without offering real change for Washington. This ad marks another chapter in what is shaping up to be a competitive race in Maryland\u2014a state crucial for Senate control\u2014where recent polling shows both candidates tied at 46%. Despite this close race, nonpartisan analysts still predict Alsobrooks has the upper hand. Democrats are facing significant financial challenges compared to Republicans in this election cycle; Republicans have reserved nearly $8 million for future ads while Democrats have only allocated $258,000 according to AdImpact data<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3108,"featured_media":2333794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MixCollage-15-May-2024-02-49-PM-8561.jpg.optimal.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32427,39436,5894,3911,32076],"class_list":["post-2333793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-alsobrooks","tag-larry-hogan","tag-politics","tag-republican","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MixCollage-15-May-2024-02-49-PM-8561.jpg.optimal.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
