Larry Hogan: I Would Consider Not Running for President in 2024 if It Would Help Trump’s Re-Election Chances

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) said Sunday that he would consider not running for president in 2024 if his candidacy would help former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning re-election.

In an exclusive interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Hogan said that he cares more about the future of the Republican Party than his own future within the party. When asked if he would consider not running if his candidacy would inadvertently help Trump, Hogan replied, “That would be a pretty good reason to consider not running, absolutely.”

Hogan, an outspoken GOP critic of Trump, has been weighing his own presidential bid. He said that if he could help elect a “great Republican commonsense conservative leader,” that would be a factor in his decision.

The former governor has been vocal in his criticism of Trump and his policies, saying that he did not support the former president. Hogan has also been critical of the Republican Party’s direction in recent years, saying that it has become too extreme.

Hogan’s comments come as speculation mounts about the 2024 presidential race. While Trump has not officially announced his candidacy, many Republicans have already begun to position themselves for a potential run. Hogan’s comments suggest that he could be a key figure in the race, depending on the outcome of the next election.
