Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan continued stoking speculation about his 2024 presidential intentions and whether he is mulling over a third-party bid for the White House.
Hogan maintained relative silence about his political aspirations during an interview Sunday on MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki.

Hogan made mention to his current status as an honorary co-chairman of the No Labels party, but he also reasserted his objective to support the strongest Republican candidate the party has to offer during the primary season.
"I’ve said if nobody wants the, you know, candidate A or candidate B, maybe there will be a candidate C. But it’s — right now, I’m focused on getting the Republican Party on track and trying to nominate a good Republican that can do a better job and that can potentially win a race in November," the ex-governor said.

“I’m a big believer in bipartisan cooperation, in reaching across the aisle to get things done. That’s how I was successful in the bluest state in America," Hogan said.
This follows Hogan's recent question into whether voters want to see another battle between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump come November.
So far, Hogan has rallied against Trump's candidacy and on Sunday said, "Trump has been indicted and probably will be indicted multiple more times than the current president," in reference to the single state case and multiple federal cases that are making their way through the legal system.

Should Hogan decide to join the already crowded field of GOP hopefuls, he could potentially face off against Trump, who maintains a first-place lead among his party's challengers in the polls.
The former governor could also see difficulties gaining traction in the polls in a hypothetical matchup with the second-place presidential contender, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
