Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said that he doesn’t think Trump should run for president in 2024. During an interview, the Republican Gov. said he doesn’t believe another Trump campaign and the possible presidency is good for the Republican Party or the country.
According to The Washington Examiner:
Baier asked Hogan if he was considering a presidential run. Hogan said he intended to finish out his term as Maryland governor first in 2023, then consider his options.
Hogan also told Baier that Maryland is “not considering any lockdowns” despite the growing spread of the omicron variant in the United States. Hogan gestured at the state’s high vaccine rate, as 90% of Maryland residents 18 or older have received at least one dose of the vaccine to date.
Hogan had regularly criticized the Trump administration and pro-Trump Republicans in Congress. In May, Hogan accused the GOP of “doubling down on failure” after the party decided to oust Rep. Liz Cheney from her position as the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference.
Gov. Hogan said the believed the party is working against itself by continuing to put so much focus on Trump’s political future.
Since making his comments slamming Trump, Gov. Hogan announced he’s also tested positive for Covid-19.
