Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan on Sunday praised Senate Republicans who broke with the party ranks and voted against former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, saying if he were a senator, he would have done the same.
"I'm proud of them because sometimes it's not -- it's not easy to go against your party and the base of your party and the former President and -- but it's hard to do the right thing sometimes, but I think I'm proud of those folks that did take that decision and put the country ahead of party or personal affection or whatever," Hogan told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union.
Hogan, who has been outspoken critic of the former President, also told Tapper there will be a "battle for the soul" of the Republican Party for years to come.
"I think the final chapter of Donald Trump and where the Republican Party goes hasn't been written yet, and I think we're going to have a real battle for the soul of the Republican Party over the next couple of years," Hogan said.

With Republicans like these, who needs enemies?
This is a prime example of why I will never support any Establishment GOP Uniparty ever again
Never again
Yet another Democovid with an R next to his name.
The old saying about keeping your mouth shut applies to this clown. It could be worse, though - we have Jay Inslee.
What next, asking the hobo that sleeps on the park bench his opinion
This is why the 2022 Republican Primaries are so important, regardless of what you think about the GOP.
Primarying out all Never Trumpers, will send a message. The Republican Leaders may choose to ignore that message, but at least it will be clear, as to which side the voters are on.
That’s why I say, forget Third Party, focus your energies on these 2022 Primaries, and at least send the message.
The Rat/RINO uniparty of treason universe: Blatantly steal an election from a sitting President by changing election laws and when the people become outraged and rebel over it, blame it on him. “The people would certainly have accepted the election theft if it were not for HIM”
Aww...such a shame he didn’t have a vote.
“The old saying about keeping your mouth shut”
He definitely has been around a lot of donut shops.
Why support a party that hates you and what you believe. It is like being a cheap hooker.
Another Republican that thinks if he says what he knows the press will like they will support him like they did McCain or Romney (right up till the time they turn on him when his useful idiocy runs out).
How do these political and constitutional illiterates keep getting elected to high office?
Nobody cares what this virtue signalling prick thinks.
He seems sore. Did Trump steal his donuts?
What happened to the (Barf Alert)?
The Party is just a bunch of guys. Remove the guys who hate you from the party. Most of them are old and tired anyway. Most Trump supporters are younger, and more energetic and ambitious.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ROFLMAO
NOT EASY TO GO AGAINST YOUR PARTY, MR. HOGAN?? ‘Scuse me...I need to collect myself...ok...all better...so...let me simply say that amongst the GOP/RNC going against the party is practically a way of life you blithering idiot!
#whatatool
Larry H. is just rarin’ to go. He expects to be greeted by the majority of the GOP Voters as a savior.
Ah, Larry, I got news for you. IMO You are going to be ‘confronted’ more often than ‘greeted’.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Call Johnny Kasich up and ask him what it’s like going afoul of the MAGA voters.
They don’t forget.
And we should care what Larry Hogan thinks because...?
