I expected Steny Hoyer,John Oszlewski,and Steuart Pittman to endorse Sarbanes.
The establishment are supporting Alsobrooks because Alsobrooks will be the 1st black female US Senator from MD and they want to see that happen. John Sarbanes is not the only political heir that might run. Jon Cardin is also considering to run. Before Angela Alsobrooks was a household name, I expected John Sarbanes to succeed Ben Cardin in the US Senate and Jon Cardin to succeed John Sarbanes in MD-3.
