The road from Maryland’s statehouse to the nation’s capital is a relatively short 30 miles, but for all the difference between Annapolis and Washington, the two cities could be 30 light-years away. Maryland is routinely deemed one of the nation’s better-governed states, its social safety net earning praise for protecting citizens during the coronavirus pandemic.
Washington has passed from partisan division to a more advanced stage of political combat, in which progressives are fighting Democrats, conservatives are fighting Republicans and President Trump sends everyone into disarray.
Larry Hogan, the Republican governor of Maryland, arrived in Washington with a simple message: There is another way. Arguing this is a nation of “civility and pragmatism,” he observed that “most of us are sick and tired of all the drama.”
Some expect that message will be the bedrock of Hogan’s bid for the White House.
The question is whether Hogan’s old-fashioned, low-heat conservatism can appeal to a party that remains in the thrall of Donald Trump and his brand of inflammatory populist politics.
“The vast majority of Americans are moderate,” said Hogan, who has the gruff but pleasant demeanor of a particularly capable electrical contractor.
Unlike some members of his party who have hesitated to recognize Biden as the president-elect, Hogan urged Trump to acknowledge reality and proceed accordingly. “We can’t wait until the end of January.”
“The race for 2024 will remain unsettled in the short term until we know what Trump’s play will be. I will be surprised if he runs in 2024, but he will try his best to mess with whatever field emerges,” said former Republican National Committee chairman and Hogan ally Michael Steele.
For his part, Hogan believes that breaking with Trump is smarter politics than sticking with him. “Americans,” he said, “are yearning to be brought together.”

Koreamask Larry.
No, never.
The old lie that the vast majority of Americans are moderate.
The vast majority of Americans want to tear pigs like him limb from limb.
Not very healthy looking.
IOW, a RINO.
lol
All these frauds are clueless. Does this man or any of these power hungry crooks look like they know anything about a virus or medicine or science? Hell no, but here we are.
If this fat schmuck thinks the problem was President Trump, wait until the national media sinks it’s teeth into his fat ass. He’ll last ten minutes.
What is he smoking?
Not enough lipstick
He’s low energy.
The rubber stamp for Md Democrats believes himself to be a leader of men. In reality Hogan’s political acume in on par with Neville Chamberlain.
“Hogan ally Michael Steele”
Toxic. Avoid like the plague.
Too bad we didn’t have a new majority patriototic conservative party...
If we did, the RINO’s in all swing states would not be able to stop the new legislative party members from going after the electors!
I don’t think a republican will ever get elected again unless they are communist. They will just rig the election like they just did and in 2018 midterm the House blue wave and 2012 for Obamas second term.
Governor No Neck speaks.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Who does this moron think is going to vote for him?
