Maryland's Democratic Senate primary concluded with Angela Alsobrooks securing the nomination over Rep. David Trone, who spent over $60 million of his own money on the campaign. Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County Executive, will face former Republican Governor Larry Hogan in the general election. Hogan, who has been a prominent figure in Maryland politics, easily won the GOP nomination. The race is significant as it could influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, with the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Ben Cardin. The primary was marked by high spending and intense competition, making it the most expensive race in state history. Alsobrooks received 48.6% of the vote, narrowly defeating Trone who garnered 47.6%, and consolidated backing from other Democratic candidates who dropped out.

Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) has self-funded about $62 million. He’s on pace from north of 300,000 votes. That would be around $200 per vote. That’s still less than Linda McMahon, who spent $450 per vote in the 2010 CT Senate primary.
David Trone spent $60 million of his own money to lose his #MDSenate primary? I think we call that pulling a Bloomberg.
The Total Wine guy famously spent like $12 million one year to finish in third place in a MD congressional primary. He then switched districts and spent his way to winning John Delaney’s old seat. Now trying to buy a senate seat and might lose again https://t.co/JuGcS8gqon
