So of the candidates above, with Schulz in, I can’t imagine Shank, Peters or Haddaway run. Harris isn’t viable statewide and Jennings seems content on staying in the legislature and moving to Congress one day. Steele wouldn’t be viable in a primary at all. Looks like Schulz is the likely nominee.
When pollsters informed voters that Trump has endorsed Cox and that Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. (R) has endorsed Schulz, Cox’s lead grows to 52%-18%. [Link]
the margin of this election narrowed slightly once the mail-in ballots were counted (Schulz won mail-ins by 12k) but obviously that was nowhere near enough in a Republican primary
