(Washington, DC) — Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is kicking off a surprise bid for the Senate. The Republican announced today in a video posted to social media he’ll run to replace outgoing Democratic Senator Ben Cardin. Hogan, who has been a frequent critic of Donald Trump, said he’s running to stand up to both parties and fix the nation’s “broken politics.” The move offers Republicans a boost to their already favorable Senate map in the upcoming election.
