Former Maryland governor says in op-ed he won’t be entering 2024 race and warns Republicans of putting Trump back in White House
A top Republican figure has warned that the party underhas become a “cult of personality” and it could not afford to try and put the former US president back in the White House in 2024.
“I would never run for president to sell books or position myself for a cabinet role. I have long said that I care more about ensuring a future for the Republican party than securing my own future in the Republican party,” Hogan wrote. “For too long, Republican voters have been denied a real debate about what our party stands for beyond loyalty to Mr Trump. A cult of personality is no substitute for a party of principle,” Hogan continued.
Hogan explained that his decision to not run for president is due to stakes that are “too high for [him] to be part of another multicar pileup” which could potentially help Trump secure the Republican nomination once more.NBC in an interview that if he believed his candidacy was going to contribute to inadvertently helping Trump, then “that would be a pretty good reason to consider not running”.
