Larry Hogan: My Role in the Senate Will Be to Push Back Hard Against My Own Party Just Like Manchin and Sinema

EXCERPT:

QUICK: "You know, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are both leaving the Senate. If you are --"
HOGAN: "Yeah."
QUICK: "-- elected to the Senate, do you see yourself playing that same sort of a role where you push back pretty hard against your party?"
HOGAN: "Well, no question about that. I mean, I believe I will be exactly in that kind of a role. I'm disappointed that my good friends are leaving. You know, I was -- I was the co-chairman of No Labels, and both Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were -- are both involved in that group. And Mitt Romney is also leaving. I mean, I've said, 'Hey, where are you guys going?' I'm coming down there to try to help build this consensus in the middle and a problem solver approach. And unfortunately some really good people are leaving the Senate because they're so fed up with this divisive, angry politics and the broken political system. They just -- they're walking away. And it may seem crazy, I'm sort of running into the burning building. But I know one person can't magically fix things, but if people aren't willing to step up, then we're in real trouble. So, I wish they were still there, but I'm going to try to be the exact same kind of leader.”
