Larry Hogan says he will not launch a primary challenge against President Donald Trump for the Republican Party's 2020 presidential nomination. "I truly appreciate all of the encouragement I received from people around the nation urging me to consider making a run for President in 2020," Hogan tweeted Saturday. Hogan said that he would instead focus on his second term as governor and his upcoming role chairing the National Governors Association. In a Washington Post story published earlier Saturday, the governor also acknowledged that it would be difficult to overcome Trump's popularity among most Republicans. story published earlier Saturday, the governor also acknowledged that it would be difficult to overcome Trump's popularity among most Republicans.
