MARYLAND, USA — Maryland’s two Senate candidates, Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican Larry Hogan, are debating Thursday night, for the first and only time.
The debate is being hosted by Maryland Public Television. It is being taped live early Thursday afternoon and aired with no edits at 7 p.m. and again at 11 p.m., according to Maryland Public Television. It will be aired on television and live streamed online simultaneously.
The debate will be moderated by Chuck Todd, chief political analyst at NBC News. Todd will be joined by three panelists, MPT anchor Jeff Salkin, WBAL anchor Deborah Weiner and NBC4 investigative reporter Tracee Wilkins.
Alsobrooks is currently the Prince George's County executive and is up in the polls against Hogan. The most recent poll, from University of Maryland Baltimore County Institute of Politics, shows Alsobrooks at 48% and Hogan at just 39%.
Hogan is the former governor of Maryland, but the state hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate since Sen. Charles Mathias (R) retired in 1987.
The two are vying for the seat vacant by 80-year-old Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin, who announced he would not seek another term in office in 2023.
