Rousuck Review: An over-the-top political farce on stage in 'POTUS'

Josh Kurtz, founding editor of news site Maryland Matters, joins Midday for an update from the campaign trail. A close race between Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican Larry Hogan is drawing millions of dollars from PACs as control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance.

Abortion remains a contentious subject in this race. One ad, funded by a PAC connected to Democrat Gov. Wes Moore, questions Gov. Larry Hogan support for abortion rights. Hogan countered with two ads on abortion and women’s rights.

Maryland's Sen. Ben Cardin holds an influential role as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The committee's work has been stalled for months over a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over legislation that would sanction the International Criminal Court over decisions to pursue arrest warrants for top Israeli officials for their prosecution of the war in Gaza.

We ask him about the latest, and news from the West Bank, where the Israeli Defense Force's killing of an American protestor sparked a rare backlash from U.S officials toward their ally.

In May of last year, Maryland's Sen. Ben Cardin  announced that he will not seek re-election when his term expires on January 3, 2025.

Gut, Wind, and Wire, a trio formed by longtime Baltimore Consort members Mark Cudek, Ronn McFarlane and Mindy Rosenfeld join Midday for a performance. The band is named for the elements that bring their instruments to life: gut strings, wire strings and the musicians' breath.

Their performances explore a wide variety of music from the 16th and 17th centuries, music from folk traditions and original music through maple, boxwood, spruce, rosewood, blackwood, tulipwood, strings of sheep gut and more.
