Hogan said he believes the former president should be held accountable, after he “inflamed kind of a riotous mob to go attack the seat of our democracy.”
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican weighing a 2024 White House bid, said Monday he believes former President Donald Trump is “at his lowest point ever," as the House Jan. 6 committee wrapped up its investigation into what Hogan described as "one of the darkest days in American history.", However, the outgoing, term-limited governor was not specific about how Trump should be held accountable.
, wrapping up its investigation of the violent 2021 Capitol insurrection with what lawmakers called a “roadmap to justice.” Hogan, an early critic of Trump's presidency, also declined to speculate on what impact a prosecution of Trump could have on the country.“I think no man is above the law, not even the president of the United States, but I understand why people would feel that it’s over, let’s just move on," Hogan said.
Hogan also said the number of Republican critics of Trump has grown since the governor's early days of criticizing him while he was president. He said former Cabinet members, former supporters in Congress and other governors also have stepped up to criticize Trump, widening a lane to oppose the former president in a GOP primary.
The governor has admitted he would be an underdog in a GOP primary, but many considered him a longshot to win the governorship using public campaign finance funds in a heavily Democratic state.
