Maryland voters are actively seeking nominees to replace Ben Cardin, while in West Virginia, the search is on for a successor to Joe Manchin. Republicans in both states are aiming to flip two Senate seats currently held by Democrats.
Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan views today's Senate primary as a warm-up for the upcoming fall challenge, where he is expected to share the ballot with former President Donald Trump. Despite this, Hogan believes that Trump's presence will not significantly impact the Maryland elections, as neither presidential candidate is expected to campaign in the state.
