Right. "give someone a run for their money" is a set expression meaning to offer them strong competition. (In this case the statement seems to be insincere, i.e. she is supposed to really think that he offers no competition at all --.I think.)

Thank you! I really got a little confused.
Could I ask you one more question, please?
After "people like Martin O'Malley, who could really give me a run for my money," she say "I'm sorry I broke, it’s too funny."
Does "broke" in this sentence mean she "forget herself"?

When I visited the site just now I got a warning message from my anti-virus, so unfortunately I will not be going back to check the video again, but, as I recall, she starts laughing at that point, yes? I think "broke" means that she was unable to keep up the pretence that she thought O'Malley was
