I’m not concerned about Hogan’s thinking, but it’s naive to assume he will not be part of the caucus. Congress, even the Senate, is not a place where a lone individual succeed without a part of a caucus. Just unrealistic and I bet he won’t like it.

And as a member of that caucus, he lends to GOP control of the senate calendar (bringing votes to the floor), one of the top issues of what it means to have “control” of the senate along with confirming appointments.

He is mostly irrelevant as an individual.

Electing a “bipartisan” Republican only makes sense if the alternative is MAGA (see Murkowski in AK). Totally pointless in a state like MD where you can just elect a Dem.

Cheering on Allsbrooks here!
