Blue state Republican touts his anti-Trump credentials in bid to flip senate seat red

A Republican candidate in a party dominated by former President Donald Trump is spotlighting how he "never caved" to Trump and is showcasing how he sent National Guard troops to help protect congressional lawmakers during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

However, as he aims to flip a long-held Democrat seat in the overwhelmingly blue state of Maryland in a key contest that may decide if the GOP wins back the chamber's majority, former two-term Republican Gov. Larry Hogan is highlighting his anti-Trump credentials.
