During an interview with Yahoo News on Thursday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan condemned President Trump for his “outrageous” assertion that the November presidential election should be delayed.

Hogan, a Republican who has been hailed for his early and aggressive response to the coronavirus, made the comments during a wide-ranging interview with Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast.

“I never cease to be amazed by things the president tweets, but even that one took me by surprise,” Hogan said. “He can’t postpone the election, he doesn’t have the power to do it, and that’s why it’s an outrageous statement. … To say that we’re going to postpone the election because of rampant fraud we haven't seen — it just doesn’t make sense."

Hogan said that the president’s insistence that mail-in voting is plagued by fraud is completely baseless. “In Maryland we’ve been able to vote by mail with absentee ballots for twenty years and it’s worked very well,” he said.

Self-preservation generally prevails over loyalty, particularly when that loyalty is never returned.

He's trying to distance himself early in preparation for his own presidential run
