<p>Former Maryland GOP Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/larry-hogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Larry Hogan</a> endorsed former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> for president on the eve of the Iowa caucuses, calling her the &#8220;best possible candidate&#8221; for the Republican Party in November.</p>
<p>Hogan told CNN on Sunday that he thinks &#8220;it&#8217;s pretty clear&#8221; that former President Donald Trump will win Iowa — as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iowa-gop-caucus-all-the-final-polls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling leading up to</a> the first-in-the-nation caucuses has indicated. &#8220;So it&#8217;s really about the fight for second place,&#8221; Hogan said.</p>
<p>Florida Governor &#8220;Ron DeSantis has put all the marbles on Iowa and spent all of his time and money and seems to be going in the wrong direction. I think Nikki Haley&#8217;s got all the momentum. And what this race is really all about is to try to nominate the strongest possible nominee for November,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>Over the past several months, <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/republican-primary/2024/iowa-caucus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics (RCP) shows Haley&#8217;s polling average</a> gradually ticked up to second place at 18.8% over the 15.7% for DeSantis. Some of the most recent polls have shown her with an edge over DeSantis, while other surveys indicate a dead heat between Haley and DeSantis. Haley&#8217;s hold on second place is even stronger in New Hampshire, where her <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/republican-primary/2024/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCP polling average sits at 29.3%,</a> 14.2 points behind Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m convinced that the momentum is with Nikki Haley, that she has the potential of moving into second place, although it be at a distant second place, which gives her momentum heading into New Hampshire,&#8221; Hogan said, adding that Haley could possibly win the Granite State, &#8220;which would put her in a much better position when she moves into her home state of South Carolina.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hogan, who recently stoked speculation about a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-11/larry-hogan-steps-down-from-no-labels-fueling-talk-of-2024-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potential third-party bid</a> following his <a href="https://apnews.com/article/larry-hogan-no-labels-president-554bf06459270be3b62724ede6fc8099" target="_blank" rel="noopener">departure</a> from the No Labels group, declared his belief in Haley&#8217;s chances to win the GOP nomination in the days after another Republican, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-christie-drops-out-of-2024-presidential-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped out</a> of the race.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been saying since last spring when I made the decision not to run that I really did not want to see a multi-car pile-up that would just enable Donald Trump,&#8221; Hogan said. &#8220;I think we want to have the strongest possible nominee in November.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hogan appeared to reference <a href="https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_Poll_Dec_2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Wall Street Journal poll</a> released in December showing Haley with a 17-point advantage over President Joe Biden, who is seeking re-election, while Biden facing off against Trump or DeSantis was a much closer race. Other <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-desantis-haley-would-all-beat-biden-new-poll-finds">recent polling</a> indicates that the Journal survey was an outlier and that the gaps among the three candidates are much slimmer.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, yes, I think it&#8217;s time for the party to get behind Nikki Haley,&#8221; Hogan said. &#8220;My friend Chris Christie dropped out of the race in New Hampshire. I appreciate his effort. But I believe that Nikki Haley is the strongest chance for us to put forth our best possible candidate for November.”</p>
