Governor Larry Hogan said he envisions a crowded field of challengers competing for the 2024 Republican presidential nod in a recent interview with Axios. Most notably, Hogan said that he would rather not see former President Donald J. Trump’s name on the ballot.
“I want to go in a completely different direction, and I think that lane is wide open,” said Hogan. “We won’t win back the White House by nominating Donald Trump or a cheap impersonation of him. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Hogan continued, “people will not be nearly as afraid and won’t feel like it’s a requirement to pair with what Trump’s saying or need his endorsement to win an election because, I think, most of the people that he’s endorsing are going to lose.”
The interview was conducted prior to Gov. Hogan’s speech delivered at the Reagan Library in California as part of the “Time for Choosing” conservative speakers’ series. Many believe that Gov. Hogan may be laying the groundwork for a potential 2024 presidential run in which he would offer himself as a deviation from the Trump brand of conservatism. “I think there may be 15 or 16 people running in the same lane fishing in the same pond, trying to just appeal to base Trump voters,” said Hogan.
The outspoken governor did not hold back when discussing the current President’s failure to lead in a time when America needed direction. He caters to the far-left extremes of his party and flails from crisis to crisis, showing weakness to the world,” said Gov. Hogan.
