The seat became open after Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerald E. Connolly died on May 21 from esophageal cancer but had previously announced plans to step down from the role.

Weeks after the Trump administration seized Kilmar Abrego Garciain Prince George’s County, stashed him in a Salvadoran prison and flouted courts ordering his return, it was Maryland’s genteel senator who grabbed the world by the collar to demand its attention. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, an understated, polite Capitol Hill veteran, is more likely to file a banking bill in the Senate finance committee than he is to wedge himself between an authoritarian dictator and a belligerent American president.
