Hogan, who previously supported both former President Barack Obama and Republican Sen. Mitt Romney during their presidential bids, previously said he was undecided about who he would back in the 2024 election. But after the assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, Hogan said he knew who he’d cast his ballot for in the election.
"When I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and the blood on his face — as a warrior, as a leader — I realized that’s what America needs," Hogan said in an interview with Fox News in July 2024.
At the RNC, Hogan used similar language when describing Trump.
"I've been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet," Hogan said.
"I know tough guys, but let me tell you something, brother, Donald Trump is the toughest of them all," Hogan said.
