A defiant stance to take…

Republican Senate candidate and former Governor Larry Hogan will not vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election despite accepting his endorsement earlier this summer.

“Look, I’ve said neither one of the two candidates has earned my vote, and the voters in the country are going to be able to make that decision,” the former Maryland governor said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Host Robert Costa pressed Hogan, asking if there is “no chance” he would cast his ballot for Trump.

“I’m not going to. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 or 2020 and I’ve made that pretty clear,” Hogan responded in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “But look, I’m not running just for a Republican Party … it’s not just about red versus blue, which is what my opponent wants it to be about. I’m concerned about the red, white and blue, and I’m willing to put country over party and I’m hoping that the voters will be willing to do the same thing.”

Watch:

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Democrat Angela Alsobrooks leads Hogan in the Maryland Senate race by 9.4 percentage points.
