- Harris and Alsobrooks are emphasizing the importance of addressing the issue of gun violence in the region.
Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the need for federal action to address gun violence during a campaign event in Maryland supporting Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat running for U.S. Senate. Alsobrooks, aiming to become Maryland's first Black U.S. senator, highlighted the importance of gun control and holding manufacturers accountable for the harm caused. The race is crucial as it could impact the Senate majority. Senator Van Hollen criticized former Governor Larry Hogan's ties to the NRA, highlighting Hogan's shift on gun control measures. Hogan, seeking a Senate seat, has distanced himself from Trump and emphasized support for abortion rights. Harris's visit aims to boost Democrats' chances in the Senate race and draw attention to gun safety legislation. Alsobrooks faces a tough challenge against Hogan, who has garnered bipartisan support in a predominantly Democratic state. The two candidates have differing stances on key issues, with gun violence prevention being a central focus of their campaigns.
