ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and Larry Hogan have spent much of their second debate trading accusations and focusing on weaknesses.

The hour-long debate was held in Arlington, Va., at News Channel 8 on Monday morning. It was co-hosted by The Washington Post and WTOP Radio.

Brown, a Democrat, focused on an analysis presented by Hogan that claimed to be a roadmap for saving $1.75 billion in state spending. Brown says it’s riddled with gaping holes and doesn’t add up to anywhere near that amount.

Hogan, a Republican, attacked Brown’s leadership on Maryland’s badly flawed health-care exchange website. Hogan described it as “a complete disaster.”

They also debated tax increases in recent years.

A third debate is scheduled for Saturday on WBAL-TV.
