Larry Hogan, who won the Republican nomination for Maryland's open Senate seat earlier this week, is casting himself as 'pro choice,' marking a significant shift from his earlier position on abortion as he gears up for what is expected to be a competitive general election. “I think Marylanders know and trust that when I give them my word, I’m going to keep it,' Hogan told the New York Times on Thursday, saying that he backs legislation to enshrine abortion rights in federal law.
No one should come between a woman and her doctor.” The comments are some of Hogan's strongest remarks on the topic. In February, he authored an op-ed in the Washington Post saying that he doesn't 'fit neatly into one box' on the issue and arguing that it's time to 'take back our politics from the extremes.' In 2022, Hogan, who was then governor, vetoed a state law to widen access to the procedure. After his veto was overridden, he withheld $3.
