'Donald Trump kept saying, 'we're going to be winning so much, we will get tired of winning.' I'm tired of losing,' the Republican governor said Sunday.
Hogan pointed out that candidates who focused on issues that mattered to the public during their campaigns outperformed those who continued to tout baseless claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
"I think common sense conservatives that focused on talking about issues people cared about, like the economy and crime and education, they did win. But people who tried to relitigate the 2020 election and focused on conspiracy theories and talked about things the voters didn't care about, they were almost universally rejected," he said.

Hogan said on Sunday that following Donald Trump and being under his influence has repeatedly cost the GOP an election win, adding that sticking with the former president is a"definition of insanity."would continue to be influenced by the former president after notable losses and whether they will"embrace the party of Trump.
"You know, if you lose over and over again to what's really not that great of a team, you have got to reassess, is it time to rebuild?" Hogan said."And you have to go back and think, how do we have a more hopeful, positive vision? How do we appeal to a broader group of voters? Because we—in some cases, we fired up the base, but we turned off wide swathes of swing voters. And that's why we didn't perform."on Tuesday.
"And it's still a battle. It's going to continue for the next two years. I would just say that we're two years out from the next election, and we're just trying to—the dust is settling from this one," he said."I think it'd be a mistake. As I mentioned, Trump's cost us the last three elections. And I don't want to see it happen a fourth time."
