Larry Hogan made history in Maryland last fall. It had been 64 years since a Republican had won a second term as governor. Hogan did it with a record-setting number of votes.

Now Hogan, who has made clear his distaste for President Donald Trump’s angry brand of right-wing politics, is putting himself out there as a possible candidate for president.

There was his inaugural speech outside the State House here Wednesday. Jeb Bush, passing the baton from one Trump-resistant Republican to another, introduced Hogan, whose remarks served as a repudiation of the Trump era. There was his gala that evening at MGM National Harbor, where he danced to the Beach Boys with a purple surfboard — a nod to how he outran last year’s blue wave in one of the nation’s most Democratic states. There was his answer the next day, when a Baltimore reporter asked him point blank if he wanted to run for president: “I’m not ready to make any announcements today, let’s put it that way.”
