'I don't think he should run,' Hogan told CBS News in a recent interview at the governor's mansion in Annapolis, Maryland. 'It'd be better for the party if we moved on and looked toward the future.'
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said former President Donald Trump should not seek the White House in 2024 and urged fellow Republicans to resist nominating a"cheap impersonation" of Trump in the 2024 presidential primary race.
"I just think he's enjoying playing golf five or six days a week. I think — his ego wouldn't take losing another election," Hogan said."And I think he's not getting any younger."Hogan, a potential 2024 presidential contender, also warned Republicans against rallying behind a Trump ally in the next presidential election, arguing that would alienate many voters.
"Ron DeSantis has to win his reelection first down in Florida and we'll see what happens in '24," he added."But, you know, I just think we ought to go in a different direction." But Hogan said he will keep speaking out against Trump and offer another path. On Tuesday evening, he will deliver a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, outlining his message for his party.
At this early stage in the 2024 jockeying, Hogan is part of an informal bloc inside the GOP that is seen as a possible counter to Trump or a Trump ally in the 2024 presidential primary. That group, united by criticism of Trump and their ties to traditional Republican politics, includes New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who is vice chair of the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.
Still, Hogan acknowledged that it might be necessary for his wing to consolidate ahead of 2024, should Trump or another figure make gains as the favorite of the populist right, perhaps with some of the more moderate or traditional candidates sitting out the race to give their brand of politics a better chance at the nomination.
