Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan has rejected an endorsement from Donald Trump, saying he has “no interest in it.”
The former Maryland governor, who is now running for a Senate seat in the state, made the comment in an interview with Nick Lannelli, a reporter for the WTOP radio station.
Asked whether he publicly rejects Trump’s endorsement, Hogan replied: “Well I just said I didn’t seek it, I didn’t want to have it and I have no interest in it.
“It’s not something we’re going to be promoting that’s for sure in a state Donald Trump lost by 33 points. It doesn’t really carry a lot of voters over to our cause so I don’t think we’re going to have any interest in accepting it.”
