Gotta Love ❤️ This!

History in the Making 🤗

#Maryland Rep. #DavidTrone of #TotalWine gave up his safe House seat, spent more than $60 million of his fortune and lost the #Democratic primary to #AngelaAlsobrooks, who hopes to become only the third Black woman to be elected to the Senate!

And if #LisaBluntRochester of #Delaware wins her Senate contest, voters will have doubled the number of #BlackWomen elected to the Senate in #American history, and for the first time ever, two Black women will serve in the #Senate at once

And if #SarahMcBride wins, she'll be the first #trans woman elected to #Congress

Aaron Blake: David Trone and the history of candidates lighting their money on fire: The Maryland Senate candidate spent $62 million of his own money, only to lose the primary. But others have fared worse — at least on a dollars-per-vote basis.

"Do you have a very wealthy friend who is considering spending gobs of money trying to get elected to political office?

You might want to show them the results of the Maryland Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday — and, of course, this post.

Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) spent $62 million of his own money on the race, only to lose to Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks by double digits. The current results show Alsobrooks winning 54 percent to 42 percent, with about two-thirds of the vote in."

And we won't vote for Larry Hogan! #NeverLarryHogan #VoteBlue #Maryland #DavidTrone

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who’s running for Senate in the state, told Axios that he would not vote for Donald Trump in 2024.

However, he also said he won’t vote for President Biden: “I’m like 70% of the rest of people in America who do not want Joe Biden or Donald Trump to be president.”
