Angela Alsobrooks, the Prince George's County Executive, has won the Maryland Senate race against former Republican Governor Larry Hogan, becoming the state's first Black senator and only the fourth Black woman in U.S. Senate history. Alsobrooks' campaign was bolstered by strong support in Democratic areas, focusing on reproductive rights and moderate governance, whereas Hogan, despite his popularity, struggled to overcome the state's Democratic leanings. Her victory is significant for Democrats amidst a challenging Senate landscape and represents a milestone in representation for Maryland.
