A GOP brawl has opened up in a Maryland swing seat, thanks to a Gen-Z conservative writer who has spent his campaign trolling the Democratic incumbent.
WALKERSVILLE, Md. — What’s the one thing that Donald Trump Jr., Mike Pompeo and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan all agree on? A 25-year-old political newcomer named Matthew Foldi.
Republicans have many reasons to believe this November’s election will be a lot closer than the last one, when the wealthy Trone won handily. The district that President Joe Biden carried by 24 points last election has been morphed into one that slices Biden’s 2020 advantage down to 10 points. And in a toxic climate for Democrats, a seat that’s been blue for a decade is now suddenly one of the biggest battlegrounds in the DMV.
There’s another reason the contest has excited GOP circles in Washington: an unconventional, energetic young candidate like Foldi. The conservative writer, who previously worked on messaging for a GOP leadership PAC, has drawn a stunning array of endorsements for a first-timer, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy himself.

David Trone . | Andrew Harnik/AP “We put the race on the radar,” Foldi said of his many big-name endorsements. “The Republican Party is completely united behind me in Maryland.” The newly drawn congressional maps, too, looked bad for Republicans. That is until March of this year, when courts ruled that state legislators needed to redraw the maps as a result of a Democratic gerrymander. The result: Much less liberal turf in Montgomery County, much more from conservative Frederick County.
