Some Republicans "are very concerned" about Donald Trump potentially launching a 2024 presidential bid before November's midterm races, which could upend contests across the country, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday.
"We had discussions about that at the Republican Governors Association last week," Hogan told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl of a possible Trump announcement, which Trump has repeatedly teased.
"I think most people are very concerned about the damage it does to the party if he announces now," said Hogan, one of Trump's loudest GOP critics. "And it may help in very red states or very red districts. But in competitive places and purple battlefields, it's going to cost us seats if he were to do that."
Karl asked Hogan about the House Jan. 6 committee hearings this summer, which most recently detailed Trump's inaction responding to last year's Capitol riot. Hogan contrasted that with his own decisions that day as a leader of a neighboring state.
"While the president was watching television and while the vice president [Mike Pence] was being whisked off to save his life and members of Congress, I was on the phone with the leaders of Congress. I was calling up the National Guard. I was sending in the Maryland State Police," he said.
Hogan said the lack of response to the hearings from many leading Republicans was "disappointing," especially in light of how they criticized Trump immediately after the Capitol attack. He said that the most striking part of the last hearing was watching outtakes from an address that Trump recorded on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after the insurrection.

ABC and Larry Hogan work hand in hand.
lol so the handful of remaining RINO are “concerned” about Trump.
This is news?
Lock Down Larry still identifies as a Republican?
Concern trolls are very, deeply, truly, concerned.
>”Some Republicans”
i.i. The usual suspects.
F ‘some’!
ABC is Disney
Disney is a predatory operation
.
Biden can’t put together two sentences and bad actor Countries have paid his family Billions, but Hogan claims that he, his Uncle Chris Christie, and Mike Pence are concerned with a Competent Business taking over?
Huh?
.
These RINOs are only concerned about their own asses rather than the country.
1/ The GOP gained seats in Congress in 2020, which wouldn’t have happened if Trump really had been “toxic.” The Chinese and/or $oros forgot to steal those elections, btw. 2/ Most candidates Trump endorses win their primaries and runoffs. That wouldn’t happen if the “experts” were correct about his “unpopularity.” 3/ Said “experts” have been wrong about Trump since June 2015. Every. Single. Time.
Fat, bald and RINO is no way to run for president, son!
I’m sure they are only concerned with our best interests and have no ulterior motivations.
Hogan never learns.
He ran for Congress in 91 or 92. He ran against Steny and beat him,
but they found a bunch of uncounted ballots and stole the election from him.
As they say here in southern Maryland “ain’t nobody knows him likes him. “
As bad as Steny Hoyer is - Hogan would’ve been worse.
Oh, so members of the Uniparty GOPeahens won’t get selected and Patriots are to start the reversal of the crap you and the Demoncrats are pulling? I hope so.
ABC News is very concerned for the Republicans.
The Damage would be to the largess system that the RINOs have set up to pork barrel themselves by selling our country out to the left. Thats
Trump needs to UNDO the incredible damage done by the Dems, and if the RINOs are NOT saying that now, they never will fight the Dem left. GO MAGA! GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!
DAMAGE THE HELL RIGHT OUT OF THEM!
Those that are “worried” are Pence, Romney, and the turtle.
Name names or shut up. They are well known and they they still haven’t learned that it is commen knowlege that we are considered rubes by these elitist RINOs.
Those that have ill regard for a Constitutional Republic don’t really understand America.
