F<\/span>ormer Maryland<\/a> GOP Gov. Larry Hogan<\/a> confirmed that he is not interested in “pursuing” a 2024 Senate<\/a> bid. <\/p>\n

Interest in a possible Hogan run for a Maryland Senate seat was sparked when Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) announced his retirement after three terms, opening up his seat in 2024. Hogan, a centrist Republican, was seen as a leading contender for the seat, but he ruled it out in an interview Tuesday. <\/p>\n

HERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS WHO COULD BE WEIGHING A BID TO REPLACE CARDIN IN THE SENATE<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n

“I’ve just never been interested in the job, and I’ve told most people, ‘Look, you know, thanks, I’m flattered, and I appreciate the call, but it’s not something I am pursuing,'” said Hogan. <\/p>\n

Hogan’s response is the latest of several, with the former governor making clear his disinterest in running for Senate<\/a> despite promising polling numbers. <\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted to be governor, and I loved being governor. I thought I was making a difference in my state, and the Senate\u2019s an entirely different job,\u201d he said in an appearance on The Hill<\/a><\/i> on NewsNation<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019re one of 100 people arguing all day. Not a lot gets done in the Senate, and most former governors that I know that go into the Senate aren\u2019t really thrilled with the job.\u201d <\/p>\n

There are few other Republican contenders for the Maryland Senate seat Republicans haven’t possessed since 1986. However, some GOP sources speculate that Baltimore Orioles legend Cal Ripken could run. <\/p>\n

On the Democratic side, Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD) has expressed his interest<\/a> in running for the seat. <\/p>\n

In March, Hogan bowed out of consideration for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination but refused to rule out a third-party bid completely. <\/p>\n

“I have ruled out seeking the Republican nomination. And I haven’t ruled [running as an independent] out,\u201d Hogan said. \u201cBut it’s not something I’m really working toward or thinking about.\u201d <\/p>\n
