MD Gov Larry Hogan Throws a Fit, Won’t Support Trump-backed Primary Winner to Potentially Replace Him

According to Larry Hogan’s spokesman Michael Ricci, the Maryland Governor won’t support Trump-backed primary winner and current Delegate Dan Cox to potentially replace him.

Ricci declined to confirm whether or not the governor would support the Democratic nominee for governor and said, “All I can confirm today is he will not support Mr. Cox.”

It would appear unlikely that Hogan will support the Democratic nominee based on a tweet that he made today after The Associated Press declared Cox the presumptive nominee last night.

Hogan claimed in the tweet that “Trump lost Republicans the White House, the House, and the Senate.”

“He’s selfishly colluded with national Democrats to cost us a Governor’s seat in Maryland where I ran 45 points ahead of him,” Hogan insisted.

Hogan then said of Trump, “He’s fighting for his ego. We’re fighting to win, and the fight goes on.”

Hogan had endorsed his former, two-time cabinet secretary and political protégée Kelly M. Schulz, who refused to concede at a campaign event late last night in Annapolis.

“Boy, I’m going to tell you, ‘We aren’t done yet,'” Schulz insisted.

Cox thanked Trump for his support despite the odds at his campaign event and noted that Schulz outspent his campaign by more than $3 million.

“President Trump didn’t have to come alongside an outsider, a newcomer so to speak. Somebody that believed in his vision of America first. A person that believed in it for each one of us. But he did,” Cox declared.

Cox added, “He believed in the mission. He believed in the vision. And he knew that we believed in the America first and Maryland first vision. Why is that? Because all of Maryland yearns for freedom. We want to have our government back.”
