GOP Senate candidate Hogan touts Trump endorsement in private fundraiser after repeatedly saying he didn't want it

CNN — Maryland GOP Senate candidate Larry Hogan touted an endorsement from Donald Trump in a private donor call and suggested it helps him with the former president’s “hard core” supporters, after repeatedly stating that he did not want Trump’s endorsement.

On the call Wednesday, a local GOP donor asked Hogan about the public perception that Hogan and Trump “hate each other.” The former Maryland governor clarified that he did actually receive Trump’s endorsement, according to a video of the call exclusively obtained by CNN.

“Donald Trump actually endorsed me,” Hogan says, interrupting the donor and repeating: “Donald Trump actually endorsed me.”

Hogan, who was a popular GOP governor during Trump’s first term in the White House, has often clashed with the former president and once even considered a primary challenge against him. And the relationship between the two men has become a major question during this year’s Senate run.

Not that Alsobrooks wasn't going to pull away in MD anyway. But this certainly doesn't help the Repug nominee for Gov.
