Alsobrooks vs. Trone’s brutal U.S. Senate primary battle nears finale

Maryland voters on Tuesday will decide which Democrat they want to compete in a looming battle of national consequence, likely against former governor Larry Hogan (R) in a November election that could help determine which party has control of the U.S. Senate seat. Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and Rep. David Trone have been courting Maryland’s 2.2 million Democratic voters for more than a year in the costliest race in state history, a matchup that offered voters more choice on style and identity than on policy differences.
