2022 MD Senate : Chris Van Hollen v Larry Hogan

[S019]

Gov. Hogan challenges Sen. Van Hollen in 2022. Kamala Harris is President and her approval rating is 43-55. Who wins and why?

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

If Harris's approval rating is that bad, I could see Hogan just squeaking by.

I think Hogan has a real shot and could pull it off. Even if he falls short, the fact that Maryland is a race to watch is a very bad sign for Democrats and the Harris presidency.

[President Johnson]

Van Hollen wins 51-46%. Senate races are different from gubernatorial contests.

[Politician]

Van Hollen wins by double digits. Hogan ends up as Lingle 2.0

Absolutely not. MD Democrats like Hogan personally, but are comfortable voting for him for Governor because of our super majorities in both houses of the General Assembly. That equation completely changes at the prospect of Senator Hogan.

Especially vs. Van Hollen. He's a lifer.

Look at how well Bredesen did in Tennessee in 2018 with a republican president at a 43-55 approval rating and you've got your answer.

Well, it's a little different because Hogan is the incumbent governor, while Bredesen was trying to make a comeback after years out of office. Hogan would still likely lose by at least 5, but it'd be competitive.

[TrumpBritt24]

Governor Hogan, easily.

1 - That President Harris approval rating.

2 - Hogan's popularity as a Governor.

3 - Hogan's charismatic ability to appeal to centrists/independents.

CvH wins, but Hogan makes it close.
