This BALOON is totally Freaking me OUT!!!!! If we're not going to pop the damn thing, someone should give it a "nudge" and send it to Canada. Let JUSTIN TRUDEAU make friends with it. SHOOT IT DOWN or GET IT OUT OF HERE. pic.twitter.com/Q8rbboXXsO— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) February 3, 2023

he’s preparing to promote his upcoming book, “The Courage to be Free,” set for release on Feb. 28.”

Nothing to do with CNN. Hogan did it to himself.

Hugh Hewitt: If it's Donald Trump you'd be willing to support him.

Larry Hogan: Yeah, as I've said, Hugh, I don't think it's going to be Donald Trump. But, uh, you know, we'll cross that bnridge or jump or jump off that bridge when we come to it.

Hewitt: If Trump is the nominee, does Larry Hogan supportr him?

Larry: Yeah, I just don't think Donald Trump will be the nominee, but I'll support the nominee. Lockdown Larry hours later put out a tweet:

TO BE CLEAR, MY POSITION ON TRUMP HASN'T CHANGED. Trump won't commit to supporting the Republican nominee, AND I WON'T COMMIT TO SUPPORTING HIM. As I have repeatedly said, I fully expect to support the Republican nominee — who I don't believe will be Trump.— Governor Larry Hogan (@GovLarryHogan) February 2, 2023

Larry Hogan: I'm giving 2024 run 'very serious consideration,' Trump won't be GOP nomineehttps://t.co/7LaeWfHcdS— Governor Larry Hogan (@GovLarryHogan) February 1, 2023

“In the short-term, he’s preparing to promote his upcoming book, “The Courage to be Free,” set for release on Feb. 28.”

2024 campaign is underway. Looking forward to seeing Trump in Texas soon. We will deliver Texas again. As always, he has my full and complete endorsement. #Trump2024https://t.co/NqdENjls6a— Dan Patrick (@DanPatrick) January 14, 2023

Always a pleasure to speak with you, John. Republicans need to get back to grassroots if we are to start winning big again, and that's exactly what we're going to do with @Ready4Ron https://t.co/IgRmUFTIV1— Ed Rollins (@EdRollins) February 2, 2023

Point is, DeSantis has not stated he was NOT running in 2024! So don’t start rumors and attack Trump with “he already said he isn’t running”.

Old links from 2021 and that means nothing. He says that’s not something I’m “planning” for? 2 years ago in 2021. Hillary also said she wasn’t planning on running in 2016.

That means nothing. He says that’s not something I’m “planning” for? 2 years ago in 2021. That’s your proof? Hillary also said she wasn’t planning on running in 2016. And it’s not just Paul Ryan who is pushing it. It’s his own people. Again, He has never said he will not run. He could easily say so.

No, he did not.

If the governor isn’t running he should say so.

Trump Dominates NH, SC Primary Polls, Wins General Election Poll By A Landslide

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4127695/posts

Forty-fifth President Donald Trump dominated two new polls against potential Republican challengers from New Hampshire and South Carolina by a landslide and also won a 2024 presidential rematch poll against President Joe Biden.

According to a recent South Carolina poll by Trafalgar Group, Trump, of course, came in first place by a landslide with 43.4 percent. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) came in a far second 15.6 points behind with a minor 27.8 percent.

Trump also won the Republican primary poll in New Hampshire conducted by the New Hampshire Journal. Trump won with 37 percent. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in second place with 30 percent, 7 points behind Trump.

In a recent Emerson College poll, Trump received a 30-point landslide lead in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination with 55 percent support. Meanwhile, DeSantis came in second place with 25 percent.

While Trump is dominating in the Republican primaries, the Republican frontrunner is also swiftly beating back President Biden in a potential matchup in the next presidential election.

According to a recent Harvard-Harris 2024 poll, Trump beat Biden with 46 percent, while Biden received 41 percent. 13 percent said they are unsure.

With Trump already making campaign stops in key initial states that determine the Republican nominee, he will have a leg up on any potential competition that challenges him. With polls showing that he is already dominating the field, he will likely come out victorious in these early states irrespective of the competition.

When recently asked about DeSantis potentially attempting to run for president, Trump said, “When I hear that he might [run] I think it’s very disloyal.” Trump added, “He won’t be leading, I got him elected. I’m the one that chose him.”

This comes after Trump hit the campaign trail for the first time this past weekend since his presidential campaign announcement in November with two stops in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

“We need a fighter who can stand up to the left, stand up to the swamp, stand up to the media, stand up to the deep state. Am I allowed to say stand up to the RINOs, too?” Trump said.
