Larry Hogan Announces Senate Run, Cites Trump's Influence on GOP as Key Factor

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan enters the Senate race, motivated by frustration over Trump's sway in blocking a bipartisan border bill.

Larry Hogan, former Maryland Governor, launches his Senate campaign, inspired by Trump's role in defeating a bipartisan border bill.
Hogan criticizes Trump for directing GOP senators to oppose the bill, which included funding for border security and military aid for Ukraine and Israel.
The failed legislation prompts Hogan to seek a Senate seat, aiming to counter what he views as harmful isolationism within the Republican Party.
Hogan, a centrist and critic of Trump, is encouraged by George Bush and others to bring a needed voice to the GOP.
Hogan is the favorite in the Maryland GOP Senate primary, facing strong Democratic contenders in a state that hasn't elected a Republican senator in 37 years.
