Hogan is a proud Republican who’s touted “great voices” in the GOP, praised Trump’s SCOTUS picks, and is bankrolled by national Republicans who want to flip the Senate
Welcome to “Larry Hogan: Republicans’ Dream Senate Majority-Maker,” an update on the latest news on self-described “lifelong Republican” Larry Hogan. Hogan, who was recruited by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and vows to caucus with Republicans, could be the 51st seat Republicans need to win control of the U.S. Senate and push forward an agenda that’s out of step with Marylanders, including a nationwide abortion ban.
Hogan is not so “independent” after all…
