As most of the nation shifted to the right, Maryland stayed predictably blue, and chose Democrats for its job openings in Washington: In addition to Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobooks prevailing over Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan to represent the Free State in the U.S. Senate. Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski won a seat in Congress, as did State Senator Sarah Elfreth of Anne Arundel County. To help us better understand what Maryland voters were saying, we speak with UMBC political scientist Mileah Kromer; Lisa Snowden, editor in chief of Baltimore Beat; and John Lee, who covers Baltimore County for WYPR. Correction: This interview mistakenly updated the race for Maryland's 6th Congressional District House seat.

Another federal government shutdown could be looming. The impact on this region would be huge. But U.S. Senator Tim Kaine told Kojo and Tom he doesn't think there's going to be a shutdown, at least this year. "My prediction is this: We are going to get a short term continuing resolution as we usually do through the end of the calendar year. And between election day and Christmas, essentially, we will hammer out an omnibus full year appropriations bill," the Virginia Senator said. Plus, we got his take on this week's big presidential debate.Recent polls have shown that Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks holds a slight lead over former governor Larry Hogan in the competitive Maryland Senate race. We asked the new UMBC Institute of Politics director and preeminent Maryland pollster, Mileah Kromer, for her thoughts on where the race stands now.The D.C. Council heads back into session next week and will turn its focus to how to deal with Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White. He appeared in the court this week and pleaded not guilty to federal bribery charges. The council is set to investigate the bribery allegations before deciding what further steps it might take against the ward eight councilmember, including possible expulsion. Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau joined the show to give us her thoughts. "We have a duty as a council to address these concerns because we hold elected officials to a higher standard," she said. "If he goes through the whole process with the feds and it turns out he hasn't broken the law, I still think we are going to still have some things to say about our code of ethics."Plus, she talked about revamping the city's troubled 911 call center. Her and others have introduced several pieces of legislation aimed at increasing the center's transparency and oversight. We also discussed the police body cam footage showing D.C. police officers fatally shooting a city violence interrupter. Become a member of WAMU: wamu.org/donateSend us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/thepoliticshour

This past weekend, a pedestrian in Silver Spring was killed by a driver of a vehicle. It marked the first pedestrian death this year and comes on the heels of the Montgomery County Council approving a pedestrian safety plan late last year. Montgomery County Council President Andrew Friedson gets behind the mic to talk about what the county is doing to keep pedestrians safe. Plus, the fallout continues at Montgomery County Public Schools after an investigation led Superintendent Monifa McKnight to resign earlier this month. Late last week, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan made the surprise announcement that he is jumping into the U.S. Senate race. Goucher College's Mileah Kromer, author of a book about Hogan, Blue State Republican, joins the show to talk about why the former governor is jumping into the race now, his chances against a Democratic challenger, and what it could mean for the U.S. Senate. The Alexandria arena deal appeared to be a slam dunk, but it's hit some speed bumps. While legislation did pass in the House of Delegates yesterday, a bill stalled in the Senate. Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Alexandria) weighs in on what happened and what comes next. Plus, what other important legislation is moving forward in Richmond… and what isn't?

(This conversation was originally broadcast on November 22, 2022.) Welcome to Midday.  In November, Donald Trump announced his third candidacy for US president, amid growing calls from some Republicans to move past Trump and onto a new generation of leaders. If that happens, and we do move into a post-Trump era, will Maryland Governor Larry Hogan impress Republicans as a model for how the GOP can attract a diverse coalition of support? Tom's guest on this encore edition of Midday explores that hypothesis in a new book by taking a close look at Hogan's rise in Maryland politics. Dr. Mileah Kromer directs the Sarah T. Hughes Center for Politics at Goucher College, which runs the esteemed Goucher Poll of Maryland public opinion. In her new book, Dr. Kromer examines how Hogan, a Republican in a deeply Democratic state, won two elections, and, over two terms, enjoyed some of the highest approval ratings of any Governor in the country. Her book is called Blue-State Republican:  How Larry Hogan Won Where Republicans Lose and Lessons for a Future GOP.  Mileah Kromer joined Tom in Studio A… The conversation was pre-recorded, so we can't take any new calls or comments today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it possible to envision a different path forward for the Republican Party – one that might allow the GOP to once again become a big-tent, majoritarian party without the excesses of Donald Trump and his imitators? Mileah Kromer, a political scientist and pollster at Goucher College, sees such an alternative in the career of Republican politician Larry Hogan Jr., who served two terms as governor in heavily Democratic Maryland from 2015 to 2022.  Kromer examines the ingredients of Hogan's success in her new biography, Blue-State Republican: How Larry Hogan Won Where Republicans Lose and Lessons for a Future GOP. She concludes that Hogan's fiscally conservative, pragmatic approach to government, combined with his rejection of culture-war grievances and Trump-style populism, allowed him to make inroads with groups that Republicans typically struggle to attract, including college-educated voters, women, suburbanites, and racial minorities. Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the country, and African-Americans – a group that has voted overwhelmingly against Republicans for more than 60 years – make up nearly one-third of the population. And yet 28% of black voters in Maryland cast their ballots for Hogan in 2018, even though his Democratic opponent was Benjamin Jealous, a former president of the NAACP.  Hogan's success in Maryland offers a potential path for the Republican Party to take if it wishes to win popular majorities in a diversifying America. In this podcast interview, Kromer speculates about Hogan's presidential possibilities for 2024, and concludes that while he would have difficulties in getting through the MAGA-dominated Republican primaries, his independence, authenticity, and ability to reach beyond traditional GOP constituencies might give him a real shot.

In the Presidential Election, there was no shortage of polls, and no shortage of outrage after the election from both sides of the political spectrum when much of the data appeared to have been unreliable.  Many polls had Joe Biden cruising to a crushing victory, with the Democrats riding a blue wave to a Senate majority and an even bigger margin in the House. Today on Midday, a conversation about the often precarious profession of polling.  It’s a complicated and somewhat risky proposition to suggest that we can know the outcome of the horse race before the race Is over, but the obsession with the horse race, from any election cycles earliest moments, is at the heart of the problem.  There are other things we can and should glean from polls that are ultimately more revelatory and enlightening than who’s up and who’s down.  Guests Dr. Mileah Kromer is the Director of the Sarah T.

Today, it’s Midday on Politics with Dr. Mileah Kromer, the director of the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College, and political consultant Sophia Silbergeld, a partner at Adeo Advocacy, a public relations and communications firm. Three new Goucher College polls were released by the Hughes Center over the past few days, in which Marylanders were asked about a wide range of issues: the presidential race, police reform and the Black Lives Matter movement, and Governor Larry Hogan’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic. With just twenty days to go before the November 3rd election, Tom and his guests discuss a broad slate of political contests -- across the city, the state and in the highest national offices – that will soon be having an impact on our lives. They unpack the results of the new Goucher polls, and provide analysis of important local and state election races, the presidential contest, local ballot questions, and what Marylanders are saying about the COVID-19 pandemic. As always, we welcome listener comments and questions by phone, email or tweet...

Candace and Tom join the team at Baltimore Positive, Nestor Aparicio and Don Mohler, Ryan Miner, Mileah Kromer, and Lucinda Ware to discuss the current state of the election as we're less than a month out from the 2020 results. The panel also had an opportunity to discuss Mileah's new Goucher poll results and Marylanders' likelihood to take a vaccine once available.

C4 and Bryan Nehman heard weekdays from 5:30-10:00am ET on WBAL Newsradio 1090, FM101.5, and the WBAL App.

In our first-ever episode, we talk with Dr. Mileah Kromer from Goucher College about the school’s latest poll, what it reveals about the current political landscape in Maryland and the 2020 race, and how happy Marylanders say they are.

College poll measures attitudes about sports betting and taxes, fears about coronavirus, and how well Gov. Hogan and President Trump are doing their jobs. Even though a big majority in the state told pollsters they’ve read nothing about the Kirwan Commission and its proposals for improving the state’s schools -- the poll shows strong support for some of what Kirwan calls for, like higher teacher pay and more vocation and job training. Poll director Mileah Kromer joins us to discuss the poll’s highlights.

Just as Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and Democrats in the state legislature are squaring off over how much to invest in revamping Maryland’s public schools … a new Goucher Poll finds three out of four Maryland adults claim they’re willing to pay higher taxes for better schools. We ask Mileah Kromer, director of the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College, about that -- and other topics Marylanders weighed in on. Then we get a sample of the debate over school funding from State Budget Secretary David Brinkley and Democrat Sen. Bill Ferguson of Baltimore.

In the wake of the Mueller report, a new CNN poll shows an increase among Democrats for Donald Trump's impeachment while Republicans remain adamant in their support of the president, evidence of what presidential historian Richard Striner describes as tribalism -- fierce political loyalty beyond ideology and mere partisanship.Meanwhile, former vice-president Joe Biden is the current front-runner among Democrats seeking their party's nomination. But Biden's status is starting to take a hit from the party's progressive wing.On the show: Mileah Kromer is associate professor of political science and the director of the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College; she oversees the Goucher Poll.

On today’s show, polls released by Goucher College on Tuesday and Wednesday revealed some contradictory preferences among MD voters. Gov. Larry Hogan enjoys a sizeable lead in his bid to be re-elected, but several of the ideas espoused by his Democratic opponent, Ben Jealous, also enjoy wide support. An increase in the minimum wage, Medicare for All, and increasing funding for education are all popular and have all been central tents of the Jealous campaign since the former head of the NAACP announced his candidacy more than a year ago. But the Governor remains very popular as well, with an approval rating of about 66%, one of the highest of any Governor in the country. Mileah Kromer is an associate professor of political science and Director of the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College. Luke Broadwater reports on City Hall and local politics for the Baltimore Sun. They join Tom for a look behind the numbers.

Director of the Goucher Poll Mileah Kromer joins the program to discuss the latest Goucher Poll.

The latest Goucher Poll puts Maryland's Republican governor, Larry Hogan, in a strong position to win a second term. But while Maryland Democrats, who outnumber Republicans 2-1, widely approve of Hogan's job as governor, whether they vote for him in November remains an open question.

He has a very high approval rating and by the time the general election campaign begins after the June primary, it’s expected that he may have as much as $10 million dollars in his campaign coffers.The challenge for MD Democrats: Choose a contender amongst the seven primary candidates who can unseat the popular Republican Governor.

On Tuesday at the White House, Donald J. Trump made an attempt at bipartisanship on immigration. But, as the evil Ramsay Bolton in ----Game of Thrones---- might say: ----If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.---- Republicans quickly criticized Trump for appearing to make concessions, and conservatives in the House of Representatives rolled out a legislative package that takes a hard line on immigrants, including those covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
