Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) threw his support behind Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks on Monday in the competitive Democratic primary race to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), saying world events prompted him to back her now.

Moore and Alsobrooks have been potent political allies; her endorsement during Moore’s primary race for governor helped solidify support in the Democratic establishment and lift the first-time politician to victory over rivals better known in Maryland politics.
