Republicans are set to lose control of a governor's mansion in the 2022 midterms, the state's GOP incumbent governor predicted during an interview with a local radio station.
Maryland GOP Governor Larry Hogan appeared on WGMDs "The Talk of Delmarva" with Mike Bradley as he visited the Eastern Shore on his way to the Maryland Association of Counties Summer Conference in Ocean City.
Hogan said Trump-endorsed GOP nominee Dan Cox had no chance whatsoever of beating Democrat Wes Moore in November, The Washington Post reported.
Hes not, in my opinion, mentally stable, Hogan told Bradley.
He wanted to hang my friend, Mike Pence, and took three busloads of people to the Capitol," Hogan said.
Hogan has previously referred to Cox as a "QAnon whackjob."

(32,086 posts)Mentally unstable GOP candidates, that is. It seems to be the norm, actually. The only thing unusual here is that it's a Republican pointing this one out.

(11,257 posts)If you're a sitting governor and there's a chance that a deranged lunatic could be your successor, you have an obligation to do EVERYTHING in your power to stop that from happening. The first step is to endorse and actively support Wes Moore, but we all know that Hogan is completely unwilling to put country (or state) ahead of party. I'm glad he's speaking out against Cox, but that's the bare minimum.

Yet if is far, far more than most of them will do.

Yeah, that's what everyone was saying about this time six years ago, and we all know how THAT turned out.
