Angela Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County executive, will be the Democratic nominee in the race for Maryland’s open Senate seat this fall after defeating Rep. David Trone, who spent nearly $62 million of his own money to try to defeat her.
Alsobrooks had 52.5 percent of the vote when The Associated Press called the race Tuesday at 9:55 p.m. Trone had 43.4 percent and eight other candidates shared the rest of the vote.
Alsobrooks now looks to November, when she is set to face former Gov. Larry Hogan, who defeated six other candidates for the Republican nomination Tuesday. Hogan had 68 percent of the votes when the AP called the race at 8:38 p.m. Robin Ficker, a former state lawmaker who outspent Hogan and aired ads pledging to be a stronger supporter of former President Donald Trump, had 24 percent.
