If the gets the nod the governorship will flip. I cannot see him winning a statewide election Maryland. He might even drag down candidates down ballot.
Are there any competitive races downballot? I feel like most races tend to be either safe D or safe R in Maryland.
Maybe a handful of legislative/county races. But yeah, all the congressional races (including Senate) will be safe and there's no doubt that Democrats will continue to control both chambers of the legislature, as they've done for over a century.
It's honestly kind of amazing that Maryland's consistently been a Democratic stronghold through so many different alignments, even as the internal coalitions have shifted.
Actually, MD was not a Democratic stronghold pre-1992.
Locally it was, with the last Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates being speaker between 1918-1920 and before that two Republican speakers being speakers between 1896 and 1900.
