What’s Next for Larry Hogan? Donors want him for Senate. Dreamers want him as President. Here's what we know about his next move.

Hogan says he won’t enter the race if he doesn’t see a credible path to victory: “I’m not going to go on some suicide mission.” He felt the same way while deciding whether to run for governor. “When we were having our discussions in 2010, we had a list of 15 different things, that ‘if this happened, this happened, this, this, we could be governor,’ ” one of his advisers says. “I think it’s the same thing [now].” In this case, Republican voters would have to reprioritize conservative principles over MAGA personalities. The field would need to shape up in such a way that a more traditional conservative candidate could gain traction. Most important, Hogan would have to remain popular in Maryland for the remainder of his term.

“Like I tell him,” the adviser says, “you’ve got to take care of your [back] yard first.”

Maybe it’s worth recalling, though, that Hogan was also a long shot before his first gubernatorial bid. He was little known in the state, he’d never held elected office before, and the Democratic front-runner, Anthony Brown, outspent him by a factor of three. As Hogan tells it in his book, all of his friends were warning him not to run.

“Nobody thought I had any chance whatsoever, but I really believed that somebody needed to do something about where we were,” he tells me. “So I’m not saying running for President would be a walk in the park, but it certainly is not as far-fetched as me getting elected twice in Maryland as governor.”

I would rather be stabbed in the front than stabbed in the back by someone who believes MAGA is a personality.

He has no chance to become President.

The current US senators from Maryland are Democrats Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen.

Hogan posing as a “traditional conservative candidate”?

That is beyond funny, bordering on Goebbels level stuff.
