Gov. Hogan: No Trump Primary Challenge Without Major Shift
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he's not launching a primary challenge against President Donald Trump unless the president's political standing within his own party weakens dramatically.
Hogan has emerged as the new best hope of a small group of so-called Never Trump Republicans seeking a prominent GOP official to take on Trump in 2020. He raised serious concerns about Trump's leadership in a Thursday interview but said he had no interest in a "kamikaze mission."
