In an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Hogan reiterated that he did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020 or support Democratic candidates in those elections. Instead, he wrote in his father in 2016 and former President Ronald Reagan in 2020.

Hogan, now running for the Senate against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks, emphasized that his campaign is not just about party loyalty but prioritizing the country over partisan divides. “I’m concerned about the red, white, and blue and willing to put country over party,” Hogan said, hoping voters will embrace a similar mindset.

When asked about Trump’s recent disparaging comments regarding Vice President Kamala Harris, Hogan condemned the remarks, calling them “outrageous and unacceptable.” He reiterated his long-standing criticism of Trump’s divisive rhetoric, emphasizing that it is harmful to both the country and the Republican Party.

Although Trump has previously labeled Hogan a “RINO” (Republican in name only), Hogan has remained steadfast in his opposition to Trump’s influence within the party.

While Hogan has distanced himself from the third-party No Labels movement, he expressed his belief in the importance of a healthy two-party system and the need for consensus in American politics. As he explained, his campaign is focused on finding common ground and working for the common good—a principle that has defined his political career.
