Larry Hogan's Private Trump Endorsement Remarks Stir Controversy in Maryland Senate Race

Despite publicly rejecting Trump's endorsement, Hogan's private comments reveal a more complex relationship with the former president.

Maryland Senate candidate Larry Hogan was recorded at a private fundraiser acknowledging Trump's endorsement, which he had publicly rejected.
Hogan's comments were intended to appeal to hardcore Trump supporters, despite his history of criticizing the former president.
The leaked video of Hogan's remarks has become a focal point in the competitive Senate race against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks.
Hogan's campaign insists that he remains an independent voice and continues to reject Trump's endorsement publicly.
The Maryland Senate race is seen as a key battleground, with significant financial backing and national attention from both parties.
