Could Larry Hogan turn a blue Senate seat red in Maryland?
Usually, the answer would be no: The state is one of the bluest in the country, and a Republican hasn't won a Senate election there since 1980. Last month, former Gov.

The popular former governor would need to win over a meaningful share of moderate Democrats or independents who typically back Democratic ca
