The 2024 Maryland Senate race between Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and former Republican Governor Larry Hogan is neck-and-neck, a surprising turn in a reliably blue state. NBC News' Antonia Hylton reports on how this race could determine the balance of power in Congress come November.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is trying to win a U.S. Senate seat in deep blue Maryland on the strength of his reputation as a Never-Trump Republican. But a damning new report in Time magazine suggests that Hogan, who put a family member in charge of his real estate firm while he served as governor, resembles Trump more than we knew. Hogan may have been able to use his power as governor to help boost his business in a manner reminiscent of the former president.

Hogan adhered to a legally-binding Trust Agreement, approved by the independent State Ethics Commission, that prohibited his participation in any matters related to his business,” Michael Ricci, a former state official and Hogan spokesman, said in a statement to Time. But, according to the magazine’s report, in practice Hogan did participate in matters that affected his business.
