Hogan might still be popular, but different dynamics in Senate race

Former Gov. Larry Hogan has shocked the political world, especially here in Maryland, with the announcement that he changed his mind and does want to be a U.S. senator. A Republican who managed the almost unimaginable feat of being elected twice in this Democratic-dominated state, Hogan is widely seen as the GOP’s best hope to turn a seat that was expected to be safe for Democrats this year, despite the retirement of Sen. Ben Cardin.
