He had to remind us he's running, because you can be sure no one has thought about him for weeks.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he would rethink his candidacy if he thought it would inadvertently contribute to former President Donald Trump securing the White House in 2024.
Hogan, who is among several former governors considering a 2024 GOP presidential bid, said on Sunday in an interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press that the timeline for his potential campaign announcement could come sometime this spring.
"I've got strong support with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents," Hogan said. "I left as one of the most successful governors in America ... I got the same vote Trump did in the Republican primary and ran 45 points ahead of him in the general." ...
"I don't care that much about my future in the Republican Party. I care about making sure we have a future for the Republican Party, and if we can stop Donald Trump and elect a great Republican, commonsense conservative leader, that certainly would be a factor," Hogan said.
Hogan reaffirmed his position that he would not support Trump for president in 2024, stating that he is putting the country before the party. ...

I don’t know exactly how 2024 will unfold, but I do know it won’t involve Larry Hogan.

When the words "common" and "sense" are crammed together into one, as in "commonsense gun laws", it is an immediate flag that what the person is talking about makes little or no sense except to those whose basic axioms are deeply flawed.

He got his start in Southern Maryland, where I originally hail from. I may have met him back when. He shifted to the left a little but anything right of center in Maryland nowadays is an "extremist". More a middle of the road guy than hardcore right wing.
But most notably,
--- Quote ---In October 2018, a law tightening gun control regulations that Hogan signed went into effect. The law banned bump stocks and gun ownership by convicted domestic abusers.[158] Hogan was endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA) in 2014, but in July 2018, he said he would decline an endorsement and funds from the NRA if they were offered.[159] In September 2018, the NRA downgraded its rating of Hogan to "C" and declined to endorse him.[160]
On May 24, 2019, Hogan vetoed a bill to replace the state Handgun Permit Review Board with a panel of judges. The Handgun Review Board hears appeals from Marylanders whose applications for handgun permits were denied by the Maryland State Police. Critics accused it of being too lenient in granting appeals. Hogan condemned the bill as a "solution in search of a problem."[161]
In April 2022, Hogan refused to veto or sign a bill that would ban the sale and possession of ghost guns, allowing the bill to become law without his signature.[162] He vetoed legislation that would require gun shops to have increased safety measures, including 24-hour burglary alarm systems and anti-vehicle barriers.[150][151] The General Assembly overrode Hogan's veto the next day.[163]
In July 2022, Hogan directed the Maryland State Police to end the "good and substantial" reasoning standard when issuing carry permits. The order was issued a few weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court declared a similar provision in New York unconstitutional in NYSRPA v. Bruen.[164]

Any time you get someone who is not rabidly anti-2nd Amendment in MD, you're doing good.
Yes, the Republicans there claim him.
