GOP Senate Nominee Totally Craps On Donald Trump's Endorsement
HuffPost
The Republican candidate pushed back at the former president's support -- to Fox News no less.
Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, humiliated Donald Trump by rebuffing the former president’s endorsement on Thursday.
“Gov. Hogan has been clear he is not supporting Donald Trump just as he didn’t in 2016 and 2020,” Hogan spokesperson Michael Ricci told Fox News when asked about Trump’s declaration of support.
Hogan wrote in March the GOP couldn’t afford to have Trump as the nominee. But the criminally convicted candidate still put himself out there in backing Hogan.
“I’d like to see him win,” Trump told Fox News. “I think he has a good chance to win. I would like to see him win. And we’ve got to take the majority.”
Asked by the conservative news channel if he was endorsing Hogan, Trump said, “Essentially, I would be endorsing, yeah.”
