Larry Hogan Faces GOP Rift Amid Trump Loyalty Tests

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who enjoyed high approval ratings in a predominantly Democratic state, is struggling to gain traction in his Senate bid due to his moderate stance clashing with the MAGA faction of the GOP. Despite initial support from prominent Republicans, Hogan's call for respect for the legal process following Trump's felony convictions has alienated him from key party figures, including Lara Trump. Hogan's moderate positions on issues like LGBTQ rights and abortion further distance him from the current GOP's hardline stance, complicating his campaign in a deeply polarized political environment.
