MD-SEN: Larry Hogan (R) launches first Maryland Senate general-election ad, focused on abortion

[RandySF]

Larry Hogan is taking to the airwaves in his latest attempt to neutralize Democratic attacks on his abortion-rights record.

The former Maryland governor had declined to fully elaborate exactly where he stood on the issue during his state’s Senate GOP primary. And in the week since Hogan won his party’s Senate primary, he’s repeatedly sought to clarify his stance, directly addressing abortion in his first major speech as the nominee, in interviews — and now on TV.

Hogan’s first general election ad is set to air Wednesday, and it’s entirely about abortion. In it, the former governor goes direct-to-camera as he endorses codifying the abortion protections the nation had under Roe v. Wade.

“With Roe overturned, many have asked what I'll do in the United States Senate,” he says in the ad. “I'll support legislation that makes Roe the law of the land in every state, so every woman can make her own choice.”

The 30-second spot, shared first with POLITICO, is part of a more than $1 million buy and will air on cable, broadcast and digital platforms in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., media markets. It’s the latest move in a bid by Hogan to defang abortion-rights-centered attacks that Democrats have wielded against Republicans since the fall of Roe.

1. And he will vote for judges who will overturn that law.

Fuck this clown.

2. ' he's repeatedly sought to clarify his stance,' so I guess we Maryland Democrats will

have to spend time and money broadcasting his 'PAST' anti-choice stance.

Too damn bad. I hope we can afford whatever it takes. Such a waste.

3. He will talk a good game to get elected and

then flip against equal rights for women. Classic maga

4. He Will Still Caucus With The Antis

"I may be pro-choice, but I'm still a Republican. I'll still caucus with Josh Hawley, Ron Johnson, and the like."

He was good Governor. I don't think that he will make a very good Senator.

5. Sounds like he would make a TERRIBLE senator,

and IF he were elected ( ) he'd be MISERABLE, that is, angry with himself and unable to 'go along' with maga b.s. (imo.)
