2024 Presidential candidate Nikki Haley joins ‘Fox New Sunday’ to break down her campaign strategy as she prepares for the Iowa caucuses. Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a prominent Republican critic of former President Donald Trump, endorsed Haley for the GOP nomination, citing her as the strongest chance for Republicans to win in November.
In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” Hogan expressed his belief that Trump would win the Iowa caucuses but highlighted Haley’s momentum, making her a formidable nominee. This endorsement comes after Hogan stepped down from the leadership of No Labels, fueling speculation of his own third-party bid. However, Hogan clarified that his focus is on selecting the strongest possible Republican candidate.
Hogan’s endorsement of Haley has generated significant speculation, particularly as No Labels seeks ballot access across the country, raising concerns among Democrats and Trump critics. They fear that this could potentially siphon votes away from Democratic President Joe Biden and pave the way for Trump’s return to the White House.
The latest Des Moines Register/NBC News poll shows Trump maintaining a dominant lead in Iowa, with Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis locked in a tight battle for second place. Hogan believes a strong second-place finish for Haley in Iowa could provide her with the necessary momentum for the upcoming primary in New Hampshire, where she has a chance to win, especially considering her home state advantage in South Carolina.
Hogan’s decision not to seek the GOP nomination himself has disappointed some Republicans who saw him as a potential challenger to Trump. However, Hogan has consistently prioritized the future of the Republican Party over his own political ambitions. In the past two presidential elections, he did not vote for Trump and instead wrote in the names of his father, former U.S. Rep. Larry Hogan Sr., and the late President Ronald Reagan.
As the 2024 campaign trail heats up, Haley’s endorsement by Hogan adds another layer of intrigue to the race. Stay tuned for the latest updates, exclusive interviews, and more political content.
