The Washington Post reports:
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Tuesday he is seriously considering a primary challenge to President Trump, adding that the only reason Trump is not facing obstruction charges is that aides thwarted the president.
Hogan criticized fellow Republicans in Congress and state houses across the country for not speaking out in the wake of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report, which he called “very disturbing” and “unsavory.”
“It’s because they’re afraid,” Hogan told reporters. “There’s no profiles in courage here. They’re afraid of being primaried. They’re afraid of being tweeted about.”
