Impact of Larry Hogan's Statements on the Republican Party

Larry Hogan, the Republican governor of Maryland, faced backlash for advocating respect for the verdict in Trump's impeachment trial. Despite being a popular figure, Hogan's moderate stance was not well-received by Trump's camp. Trump's focus on personal loyalty over party interests has led to the reshaping of the Republican Party, fostering a climate where disagreement is met with harsh consequences. This approach poses challenges for GOP members who are now expected to prioritize loyalty to Trump above all else.
