According to a report from the Washington Post, Donald Trump's influence on primary elections will once again be on display this week as Maryland voters go to the polls and Republicans in the state worry the former president's choice will come out on top -- only to lose badly in November.
At issue is a bitter fight between Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's handpicked choice, former cabinet secretary Kelly Schulz, and single-term Maryland lawmaker Dan Cox who Schulz has alternately called a "wack job," a "nut" and a "pathological liar."
This past week, Trump once again weighed in on the race in a conference call to activists stating, You dont want Hogans anointed successor. Anybody he wants, frankly, Id be against just on that basis alone.
The war between the two GOP candidates, with Trump attempting to put his finger on the scales in a tough fight, has Republicans worried about a blowout in November in a state that went for President Joe Biden by 33 points in 2020.
