Former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele said Monday that he won’t run for Maryland governor, but will remain part of the national political conversation and wants to see the GOP better define what it stands for.
“I made the decision to stand down this round,” said Steele, a Republican MSNBC commentator and ardent critic of former President Donald Trump.
“It’s not something the family wants me to do right now,” the Prince George’s County resident said in an interview. “My wife has never been a big fan of the political landscape. At the end of the day, you can’t be governor without the first lady.”
Steele’s decision leaves Commerce Secretary Kelly Schulz and Del. Dan Cox as the most prominent Republicans in the June 28 primary election field. Schulz, a former Republican delegate from Frederick County and a longtime member of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s cabinet, is transitioning out of the post this month to mount her campaign. Cox is a conservative who has received Trump’s endorsement.

He is a joke. Moot point though, Maryland is a lefty state and one commie is no different than another.
Good
Yup.
And totally irrelevant.
After all Steele has done to destroy the Republican Brand, he wouldn’t dare wear the mantle and run.
“I made the decision to stand down this round,” said Steele, a RepubliCON of the First Order.
So Deep State KOs Letitia James’ run.
Steele’s run.
Anyone else seeing a pattern here...
Worse then a joke I would have voted Democrat had he run in Maryland and I have never voted Democrat I’m 71
Michael Steal... He is stealing the Republican brand like other RINOs, from the REAL REPUBLICANS!!
I would have voted Democrat had he run in Maryland and I have never voted Democrat I’m 71.
I voted for George McGovern the 1st year 18 year olds were allowed to vote. Paid my dues as a democrat. That makes me more conservative now having learned.
Dirty secret revealed.
You can't be gubbernor without votes and this turncoat prick couldn't get elected to dog catcher.
I regret that many moons ago, I donated to several of his lying campaigns {I've been tricked by many so called conservatives}.
I thought maybe he was too liberal even for Maryland.
And just whom was holding their breath over whether or not Steele would run?! No one.
He’s not even a RINO anymore, he’s a typical liberal democrats
look who is banjo Joe? That’s a new one to me.
MSLSD....little bit of fluff sitting next to him...dead intern...
Out of all the lame candidates who have come out of the Repuke party, Steele is one of the more detestable.
