'Then drop out': Internet mocks Larry Hogan for saying he has 'no interest' in Donald Trump's endorsement

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND: GOP Maryland Senate candidate and former Governor Larry Hogan has distanced himself from the former President Donald Trump's endorsement.

“Well, I just said I didn’t … I didn’t seek it, I didn’t wanna have it, and I have no interest in it. It’s not something we’re gonna be promoting, that’s for sure,” Hogan, frequently a critic of Trump, expressed in an interview with WTOP radio that he was not receptive to the endorsement when asked about it.

Larry Hogan characterizes Trump's endorsement as unexpected

Trump has expressed his desire to see Hogan win the Senate race in Maryland, according to The Hill.

Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, is competing against Democratic nominee Angela Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County Executive, for the seat that will be vacated by the retiring Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md).

Trump stated, “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.”

In an interview, Hogan characterized the endorsement as unexpected and cited criticism from Trump's inner circle, including Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump, as a factor in his surprise.

“So, it also was a surprise because for the few weeks before that, they were sort of saying just the opposite,” Hogan said.

He added, “We were gettin’ blown up by Trump’s campaign manager and his daughter-in-law, who was running the RNC, saying really bad things about me, and then, all of a sudden, Donald Trump switched gears and started saying nice things about me.”
