The former president said that he was personally “about the party” and the country, and would like to see Hogan win the Senate seat in November. Hogan is running as a Republican, and was elected governor as a Republican. But he has faced pushback from party members over his stances on abortion.
Former President Donald Trump endorsed former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan for the U.S. Senate on Thursday, despite Hogan urging voters to respect Trump’s verdict in his New York hush money case.
Trump was convicted of 34 charges related to a hush money payment he made to former porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and is expected to appeal the verdict and his subsequent sentence. He will be sentenced on July 11.

“Yeah, I’d like to see him win. I think he has a good chance to win,” Trump told a Fox News reporter. “We gotta take the majority. We have to straighten out our country. So I’d like to see him win. He’s somebody that can win … I know other people made some strong statements, but I can just say from my standpoint, I’m about the party and I’m about the country.”
Hogan, whose campaign later told the reporter he would not be supporting Trump, previously vowed that he would not vote for Trump in November and would vote for a third party candidate instead. Hogan previously endorsed Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination when she was still in the race.
Trump is no fool, he is only endorsing hogan to gain another republican seat in the senate. He knows what hogan is
This might actually be the “kiss of death” for Hogan’s campaign!
Although I would rather see a Republican win that Senate seat, this RINO should have quit before he endorsed the Mooron that replaced him!
I respect the real Presidents opinion but my conscience won’t allow me to vote for fat Larry. Sorry
Keep your friends close…. keep your enemies closer….
No to hogan
