As Donald Trump hopes to be celebrating the victory of his endorsed Senate candidate in Ohio’s Republican primary, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan will be across the country delivering a blistering speech urging the GOP to shun the former president and choose new leadership.
This split-screen scenario offers a preview of a 2024 White House primary that could include Hogan. On one side is J.D. Vance, a conservative populist in the mold of Trump, possibly winning the GOP Senate nomination in Ohio. On the other side is Maryland’s governor delivering an address from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California in which he is expected to blitzkrieg the former president and recommend that the party pursue a more traditionally conservative future.
