Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) boasted to CBS’s Robert Costa about anti-Trump Republicans’ victories on Tuesday night.
“I’ve been talking about a bigger tent,” Hogan told Costa, adding, “And we need that. I think there is a battle for which direction the Republican Party will go. My side of the party had a really good night. Trump’s side did not.”
In the race for Hogan’s successor, Democrat Wes Moore flipped the governor’s mansion by defeating Dan Cox, a Republican endorsed by Trump who endorsed unfounded claims of mass election fraud in 2020. Hogan declined to endorse Cox.
“I don’t know if it was a complete repudiation of Trump and Trump politics, but it was certainly a much better night for Republicans running as commonsense conservatives,” Hogan told CBS. “Those Republicans won almost everywhere.”
Hogan said that for years he “felt like I was on a lifeboat all by myself” within his party “with everybody on the Trump Titanic.”
But now, Hogan told Costa, “we need a bigger boat,” adding that Tuesday’s election results make him more likely to seek his party’s presidential nomination in 2024.
