Senate Republican campaign chief calls Larry Hogan a ‘maverick’ while GOP megadonors embrace his candidacy

The head of the U.S. Senate Republican campaign committee on Tuesday called former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan a “maverick” who has managed to distance himself from both political parties in his campaign for an open Senate seat in a Democratic-dominated state. “Larry, he’s a maverick — a self-described maverick,” Steve Daines, a Montana senator who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Tuesday.
