Trump-endorsed candidate Dan Cox cruised to victory in Maryland’s GOP governor primary; Cox was leading Commerce Secretary Kelly Schulz —Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s hand-picked successor —56% to 40% when The Associated Press called the race just after 11 p.m.
“Congratulations to Dan Cox. NBC Fake News just called the race, but in this case the reporting wasn’t Fake (for a change!),” former President Donald Trump posted on TRUTH Social.
Trump’s endorsement helped boost Cox to victory in the Free State.
“Dan Cox is an America First Patriot who is running for Governor in the Great State of Maryland. A tough lawyer, and smart businessman, Dan has done outstanding work in the Maryland General Assembly,” Trump said in a statement, per Cox’s website.
“Dan is MAGA all the way—unlike his opponent, Kelly Schultz, who was handpicked by her ‘boss,’ RINO Larry Hogan, who has been terrible for our Country and is against the America First Movement.”
Cox posted a couple of celebratory tweets on Twitter:
