Doug Wilder, Deval Patrick, Wes Moore -- that would be three

Actually it’s four including David Paterson. He wasn’t elected but he did serve as Governor.

Let's stop with the talk of him running for President for one minute and focus on...

damn! That is one good looking first family. Extremely photogenic.

Back to the conversation - he has charisma. He has a beautiful family. In today's culture, that plays an important role whether we like it or not.

He is just starting his governorship. Let's see what he does. I seriously doubt he will run in 2024 but if he does well in MD, I could see him making a play for 2028 or even 2032.

Hogan wants to be president, too. How's that going?

I’m not sure how a Republican that repudiated Trump’s Presidential ambition is relevant. He was re-elected by large margins and has extremely large favorability in the state, which means that he’s widely popular with Democrats.

Your post indicates that you are a prime candidate for disappointment.


Hogan will never be president.

The rest of the country has no idea who he is.

And Maga controls the party he is not MAGA.

Hogan is the same as the rest of republicans, he's no better. His kid isn't either.

No republcian should ever be elected again full stop. Treason.

What a great day for Maryland.

Democrats should keep in mind that Hogan was extremely popular, even before Trump was president. There’s more to his popularity than rejecting Trump. Democrats would do well to maintain the status quo in Annapolis.

You mean the expanded Democratic supermajority in the General Assembly?

Totally agree. I hope he does well. If so, I’m there for him in 2028/2032 if he runs.

That’s the point. But a “Hogan Democrat” could certainly become President.

Hogan is a Republican who would rather vote uselessly for a dead Republican than vote for a Democrat to beat a MAGA candidate. There's no such thing as a Hogan Democrat. Could a Democrat who voted for Hogan become president? That seems unlikely, purely on a numbers basis.

Deval Patrick was the governor of Massachusetts a while back. He briefly ran for President in 2020 along with two dozen other Democrats. Douglas Wilder was Governor of Virginia in the 1990s and was the first Black governor since reconstruction.

There is no such thing as a “Hogan Democrat”? Then who was voting for his landslide reelection victory in a state that is overwhelmingly Democratic? Don’t need Scooby Doo to solve that mystery.
