It has been an incredible honor to serve as Maryland’s Governor. Together, we Changed Maryland for the Better, and none of our success would have been possible without your support.
I am not about to give up on the Republican party or America. None of us can. It's too important.

There is no defense for the President’s comments tonight undermining our Democratic process. America is counting the votes, and we must respect the results as we always have before. No election or person is more important than our Democracy.
GOP @GovLarryHogan reacts to the Trump campaign’s election lawsuits.
“Everyone in America wants a free and fair election, they want every single vote to be counted,” he says but “frivolous lawsuits to drag this out if there's no merit to them absolutely is wrong for the country.”

I can't believe this even has to be said, but the Constitution is not the problem.
Looking backward and attacking the Constitution is the problem. It's time for our party to put this nonsense in the past and move forward.

For six years, I've taken heat for saying what other Republicans would only admit privately. I was never out to attack Trump, but I just don't believe anyone should be afraid to disagree.
I'm encouraged that so many others are now finally finding the courage to do the same.

The GOP I believe in is the party of freedom and truth.
It’s a sad day for my party—and the country—when you’re punished just for expressing your beliefs, standing on principle, and refusing to tell blatant lies.

Today's dysfunction in Washington is more evidence that the divide in our party isn't about policy or ideology.
It's between those who want to win and get common sense conservative results and those who want to be a performance act at the circus.

It's shameful that a state party would be more focused on condemning Republicans who win elections than actually winning them. I'm grateful for Republican leaders like @dougducey, @cindymccain, and @JeffFlake, and we need their voices to rebuild a big tent, principled GOP.
The Arizona G.O.P. censured Cindy McCain, Gov. Doug Ducey and former Senator Jeff Flake, all of whom have been criticized by some conservatives as insufficiently loyal to Donald Trump. nyti.ms/2Y7Smbn

Since 2016, Republicans have done nothing but lose, and Republican voters are paying the price for it.
Doubling down on losing isn't just foolish. It's a gift to the Democrats.
It is time to turn the page. It is time to start winning so we can start governing again.

Trump lost Republicans the White House, the House, and the Senate. He’s selfishly colluded with national Democrats to cost us a Governor’s seat in Maryland where I ran 45 points ahead of him.
He’s fighting for his ego. We’re fighting to win, and the fight goes on.

Republican leaders are rightly opposed to cancel culture on the left. They should not be using it against their own members.
After losing the House, the Senate, and the White House, our party desperately needs a bigger tent, not a smaller one.

If President Biden is truly serious about threats to democracy, then he would condemn the tens of millions Democratic groups have spent promoting extremists threatening democracy. The fact that he won't do so shows this is more posturing from a failed administration.

Trump is certainly an expert on what it takes to lose elections in Maryland. But take it from from a guy who out-ran him by 45 points and won twice, the whack job being propped up by the DGA would ensure that our state goes back to a Democratic monopoly.

The increase of violent crime in Baltimore City is unacceptable. Rather than defunding our police, we need to invest more in law enforcement, pass better laws to hold violent criminals accountable, and we need prosecutors who will actually prosecute those laws.

Trump cancel culture needs to end. Strong candidates like @DonJBacon, @RepJohnKatko, and @BrianFitzUSA helped close the gap in Congress by winning Biden/Hillary districts while Trump lost the White House. They deserve our thanks, not attacks from a few fringe whackos.

In a state that Donald Trump lost by 33 points, we out-ran him by 45 points. We completely debunked the false narrative that the way you vote is pre-determined by the color of your skin, where you live, where you were born, who you love, or where you worship. #BetterPathForward

I'm glad to see others are now following our lead on removing unnecessary college-degree requirements for jobs. We should reward skills and hard work, not excessive credentialism. It's time to debunk the fiction that an expensive degree is the only key to the American dream.

As I've said repeatedly, this is not the time for partisan politics or finger pointing. I appreciate the praise, but campaign ads politicizing the coronavirus response are not constructive towards the urgent goal of bringing everyone together to fight our common enemy: the virus.
Just like when I was in combat, we can see our leaders on the front lines, only this time it’s in our states. Democratic and Republican governors are all showing us what REAL leadership is - and political party has nothing to do with it.
