Hogan, who is currently running for Senate, has repeatedly said he does not support Trump’s current or past campaigns. 

“I’m not going to [vote for Trump]. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 or 2020,” Hogan said during an appearance on CBS News’s Face the Nation. “And I’ve made that pretty clear.” 

However, he stopped short of issuing an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’ve said neither one of the two candidates has earned my vote. And the voters in the country are going to be able to make that decision,” Hogan said.

Since launching his Senate campaign, Hogan has touted his independence from the Republican Party. He reiterated this on Sunday, saying the race isn’t about “red versus blue.” 

“I’m concerned about the red, white, and blue,” he said. “And I’m willing to put country over party. And I am hoping that the voters will be willing to do the same thing.” 

Hogan’s remarks came just one day after Trump escalated his personal attacks against Harris, a tactic he has stuck with since she launched her campaign over the summer. 

Trump held a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on Saturday, where he made false accusations about the vice president’s mental capacity. 

He started out by saying President Joe Biden “became mentally impaired.” Whereas Harris, Trump said, “was born that way.” 

“Kamala was born that way. She was born that way,” Trump said. “And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this.”

Hogan slammed Trump’s comments, accusing the former president of using divisive rhetoric. 

“I think all of that is outrageous and unacceptable. And I’ve already called him out when he had the one interview where he was questioning her racial identity, and now he’s questioning her mental competence,” he said. “And I think that’s insulting, not only to the vice president but to people that actually do have mental disabilities.”

“Trump’s divisive rhetoric is something that we could do without. I think he’s his own worst enemy. And I think, you know, I’m very concerned about the toxic and divisive politics that seems to continue really back and forth. That’s what people are so fed up with. It’s why they want to change Washington, and it’s why I’m running,” he added.

Despite Hogan’s criticism of the former president, Trump endorsed Hogan in June. At the time, Trump said he would like to see Hogan win and that he had a “good chance.” Hogan’s campaign rejected the endorsement.
