The Politics Hour: Maryland's Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks

  • Summary

  • The closely watched Maryland Senate race remains tight. Tens of millions of dollars continue to pour into the race as each candidate looks to hammer home their message with voters. Democratic candidate Angela Alsobrooks cites the danger of the race giving Republicans control of the U.S. Senate. Republican candidate Larry Hogan wants to convince voters he’s a moderate who will pick country over party. Democratic candidate Angela Alsobrooks joined us to discuss where the race stands now and what she would bring to the role.

    Eyes are also on Virginia’s 7th congressional district race, where Democrat Eugene Vindman and Republican Derrick Anderson are in a tight race for the seat to replace Abigail Spanberger, who is running for governor. The future of federal workers, abortion rights, and the economy are among the top issues in the race. Democratic candidate Eugene Vindman joined the show to make his pitch to voters.

    In D.C., the most intense political fight coming into November 5 is over a ballot initiative that would bring ranked choice voting and semi-open primaries to the District. Alex Koma of the Washington City Paper explained why Initiative 83 has become so divisive.
