"Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan Launches Surprise Senate Bid"

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, known for his criticism of Donald Trump, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, aiming to bring a solution to the nation's broken politics. Hogan's decision to run for the open seat comes as Republicans seek to gain control of the Senate. He faces competition from U.S. Rep. David Trone and others in the Democratic primary, while seven Republicans have filed for the GOP primary. Hogan, a moderate Republican, previously served two terms as governor and is well-positioned to run a competitive campaign in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1.
