Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) thanked his supporters Wednesday night at Live! Casino Hotel Maryland during an event commemorating his two terms in office. But what was supposed to be simply a rally to send off the Republican into retirement morphed into a quasi-2024 presidential campaign kickoff.<\/p>\n

Hogan, a moderate Republican who has long distanced himself from Donald Trump’s GOP<\/a>, has reportedly been pondering a White House bid for many months. On Wednesday night, the longtime state government official didn’t hold back in teasing his supporters that they might not have voted for him for the final time.<\/p>\n

“I think you all know that I care very deeply about this country,” Hogan told about 1,700 attendees in the casino’s ballroom. “And I’ve never been more concerned about the direction of our nation.”<\/p>\n

\n

What I can tell you tonight, is that I am not about to give up on the Republican Party or on America,” Hogan added, before saying he has 1.2 million reasons why he should consider staying in politics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those 1.2 million reasons referred to the amount of money Wednesday’s event reportedly raised for Hogan’s political action committee, “An America United.”<\/p>\n

\n

It has been an incredible honor to serve as Maryland\u2019s Governor. Together, we Changed Maryland for the Better, and none of our success would have been possible without your support.<\/p>\n
