Former Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan begrudgingly left open the possibility of backing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for president despite their profound differences.
Fresh off his bowing out of consideration for the 2024 GOP primary, Hogan reiterated his long-standing staunch opposition to former President Donald Trump reclaiming the party nod and underscored that"DeSantis would not be my favorite" while demurring when repeatedly pressed on whether he could support him for president.
"We don't agree on a lot of things. We're completely different in many respects, in tone and style and substance," Hogan added."We'll just have to see how the campaign plays out." "There are several competent Republican leaders who have the potential to step up and lead. But the stakes are too high for me to risk being part of another multicar pileup that could potentially help Mr. Trump recapture the nomination," Hogan said in a statement Sunday.
