Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is launching a campaign for Senate, silencing rumors that he may launch a third-party presidential bid for the 2024 election cycle.
A person familiar with the matter told Politico that the Republican is expected to file for the open Senate seat left vacant by retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) on Friday, the contest filing deadline.
Hogan, a centrist who governed over a blue state, had left his plans vague following his departure from the governor’s mansion up until Friday.
The former governor recently stoked rumors that he was running for president after he stepped down from No Labels leadership as co-chairman in January. The third-party nonprofit organization launched a ballot access initiative this cycle looking to run a unity presidential ticket in November for voters who do not want a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
