Republicans have redoubled their efforts to convince several reluctant top-tier Senate prospects, including Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, seen here on Oct. 25, to run in 2022 | Brian Witte/AP PhotoThe votes were still being counted in New Jersey and Virginia when Gov. Larry Hogan’s phone first began blowing up.
“We have great candidates in our races,” Sen. Rick Scott , the National Republican Senatorial chair, said Wednesday. “I bet there’s more people that are going to want to get in because they can see there’s a path.” Hogan last month, meanwhile, hinted to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that he, too, has heard from McConnell and Scott about running. Hogan and Ducey are term-limited.
