Former President Trump told Fox News he'd 'like to see' anti-Trump Republican and former Gov. Larry Hogan flip a Democrat-held seat in the blue state of Maryland.
EXCLUSIVE — Former Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, a vocal Republican critic of Donald Trump who's aiming to flip a Democrat-held Senate seat in his blue state, apparently has the support of the former president. 'I'd like to see him win. I think he has a good chance to win. I would like to see him win. And we've got to take the majority,' Trump said Thursday in an exclusive interview with Fox News as he pointed to the Maryland Senate race.
The former Maryland governor, who has said he won't vote for Trump in November's presidential election, stood out from most other Republicans for publicly calling for the guilty verdicts late last month in the former president's criminal trial to be respected.
We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law.' Minutes later, Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita, a veteran Republican consultant, responded to Hogan's social media post, writing, 'You just ended your campaign.' On Thursday, as Trump was leaving Capitol Hill after meetings with congressional Republicans, he was asked by Fox News if he would support Hogan.
We have to straighten out our country. So, I'd like to see him when he's somebody that can win. I would. 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. And I would like to see him win,' the former president said. Asked if he is endorsing Hogan, Trump responded that 'nobody's asked me that. But essentially I would be endorsing. Yeah.
