Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks squared off on Oct. 10 in their only debate of the 2024 Senate race.

The debate on Maryland Public Television between the Republican and Democrat nominees, respectively, comes just weeks before the Nov. 5 elections, which will also decide control of the U.S. Senate. Hogan’s last-minute entry made the race in the Old Line State competitive.
