Moderate GOP governor tears into party's direction: 'I think they're focused on the wrong things'
CNN
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland criticized his party Sunday for being "focused on the wrong things," saying its preoccupation with the results of the 2020 election is holding it back from having "a positive, hopeful vision for America."
The comments from Hogan, a moderate Republican who frequently speaks out against his party and former President Donald Trump, come days after he declined to be a candidate for US Senate, disappointing GOP leaders who saw him as the party's best shot at ousting one of the state's incumbent Democratic senators.
"I think they're, you know, sometimes focused on the wrong things. Not just being a roadblock to Biden. I mean there are certain things we want to stand up to President Biden. The inflation is out of control and we're talking about billions in more spending -- trillions of more spending," Hogan told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
