Angela Alsobrooks wins contentious Democratic Senate primary in Maryland [View all]

Source: The Hill

Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) has won the Democratic primary for Maryland’s open Senate seat, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

Alsobrooks beat out fellow Democrat Rep. David Trone (Md.) in what had become a tumultuous race. Just days earlier, an Emerson College Polling/The Hill/DC News Now found the two in a dead heat.

Alsobrooks is set to face off against popular former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) in the fall.
