Is Maryland a bastion for moderate, sane Republicans?
Maybe.
Why Maryland is a test case for the GOP's future
"In the Maryland primary, Mr. Hogan last week endorsed Kelly Schulz, a former state lawmaker who served in Mr. Hogan’s Cabinet for nearly the entirety of his governorship, first as labor secretary and then, until January, as commerce secretary. She is a pro-business pragmatist and, perhaps more to the point, a Hogan friend and loyalist — the latter being a critical asset in a state where Mr. Hogan’s approval rating is about 75 percent." ...
"In Maryland’s GOP primary, the former president has backed Del. Daniel L. Cox, a two-term Republican from Frederick whose fringe views, which include oblique appeals to the QAnon conspiracists, would have made his candidacy a joke in an earlier era. He has embraced the lie that the former president won the 2020 election; called former vice president Mike Pence a “traitor” for refusing to reject the certification of that outcome; and moved to impeach Mr. Hogan, winning virtually no support in either party. These days, however, a Trump loyalist, even an obscure one such as Mr. Cox, might tap a sizable portion of the party’s base in a state election."
Yeah, that's going to be an interesting vote.
