Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan will decide whether to run for president in 2024 “sometime this spring,” he said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“Sometime this spring, I think, is when you’d have to really get ramped up. … You’ve got to start raising hard dollars and be really in the race committed in the next couple of months,” Hogan told host Chuck Todd.
The moderate Republican noted that he started a federal fundraising committee last year. He has criticized members of his own party for falsely saying the 2020 election was stolen, and he’s blamed former President Donald Trump for the party’s 2022 midterm struggles, among other issues.
“I’m traveling around the country just trying to get a feel for what Republican voters want, what Americans are looking for, and we’re going to make a decision in a relatively short period of time,” Hogan said Sunday.
If he decides to run, Hogan would join Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican field. Several other Republicans have also teased the possibility of 2024 presidential campaigns.
Limited to two terms as governor, Hogan left office last month. His approval rating stood at 77 percent in one Gonzalez poll, though it was higher among Democrats than Republicans in one of the nation’s bluest states.
