Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan recently rebuked his party for endorsing Donald Trump's 'blatant lies' about the 2020 presidential election.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced on Tuesday that he will not run for Senate this year — marking another setback for Senate Republican leaders who want to take back the majority.

"I sincerely appreciate all the people who have been encouraging me to consider it," Hogan told reporters Tuesday afternoon. "Just because you can win a race doesn't mean that's the job you should do if your heart's not in it. And I just didn't see myself being a U.S. senator."

Hogan also quipped that he called incumbent Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) "to let him know that he can rest easy and get a good night's sleep tonight."

3. Larry Hogan might be the only 'Puke politician who doesn't make want to take a 2x4 to

their head (metaphorically speaking, of course..... OK there's the Ted Cruz Exception.... but I digress). OK and maybe Kinzinger. I mean, he's still full of shit for the most part. But he gave up a very lucrative career in Neo Nazi politics. And he refused.
