- Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is running for Senate despite trashing the idea last year.
- "Not a lot gets done in the Senate," Hogan said in May 2023, reaffirming his decision not to run.
- He also said that other former governors like him "aren't really thrilled with the job."
Just nine months ago, former Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland didn't have especially nice things to say about the US Senate.
Republicans had been hoping to get him to run not just this year, but during the 2022 cycle.
But Hogan consistently turned his GOP friends down, telling NewsNation in May 2023 that being a senator is "just not something I've ever aspired to do."
