Larry Hogan Announces Surprise Senate Bid Despite Earlier Reluctance

Former Maryland governor Larry Hogan, previously expressing a lack of desire to be a senator, has announced a surprise US Senate run to succeed retiring Democrat Ben Cardin. Hogan, a popular moderate Republican, cited a need to stand up to both parties and fix broken politics. His past remarks about the frustrations of being a senator and his preference for executive roles may come back to haunt him as he enters the race.
