Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, is positioning himself as a centrist candidate in his bid for a Senate seat. In a new 30-second TV ad, Hogan emphasized that neither Republicans nor Democrats can take his vote for granted, insisting that his decisions will be based on what is right for Maryland rather than party allegiance. This stance is reminiscent of his tenure as governor, where he often took a bipartisan approach. Hogan's candidacy has created a divide among Maryland GOP voters, particularly given former President Donald Trump's backing of Rick Scott for Senate majority leader. Hogan's successful political career in the predominantly Democratic state of Maryland, including eight years as governor, has been marked by his ability to navigate bipartisan politics, and he aims to bring this approach to the Senate.
Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Hogan says Republicans can't count on his vote in Senate. https://t.co/1EEFMWMYQl

He’s said he will caucus with Republicans and Trump is backing Rick Scott for leader. So when you vote for Hogan you are voting to make Rick Scott majority leader because no way Dems hold the Senate without this seat. It’s already going to be tough. https://t.co/W5ktPg8wqc
In the Senate, Republicans can’t count on my vote, but then again, neither can Democrats. If they want my vote, they will have to do what is right for Maryland, not one political party.
