Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is running for the state’s open Senate seat.

The Republican isn’t winning over Democrats in deep-blue Maryland .

Democrats in blue states are happy to hand the reins of state government over to Republicans .

But the Senate and the White House are different matters.

The margins of power in Washington are razor thin, and the “rebel” governors willing to part ways with their party for the sake of running their state as they see fit are less likely to buck leaders in the House and Senate .

Because the responsibility of hashing out national issues is shared among all the states, it’s easy for Democrats who want smaller tabs and more focused governance at home.

Voter priorities fluctuate from year to year and contest to contest.

Entrenching their preferred party’s control in Washington , particularly in the White House , drives whether states are viewed as “red” or “blue” If voters are concerned about government intrusion and single-party rule, they might consider the checks and balances blue states have placed on themselves.
