“We were the most respected country with respect to elections,” he said. “And now, we’re beginning to look like we’re a banana republic. It’s time for them to stop the nonsense. It just gets more bizarre every single day.”
“And frankly, I’m embarrassed that more people in the party aren’t speaking up,” he added.

Citing his father, former Rep. Larry Hogan (R-Md.), who condemned the Nixon administration amid the Watergate scandal, the governor said on Sunday that history "will judge everybody just as they did during Watergate.”
Trump has declined to concede in the election, instead pursuing lawsuits through his campaign promoting false claims of widespread voter fraud among mail-in votes.
