| Republican governor says he's a 'no' on Trump | |
| Maryland governor Larry Hogan says he does not plan to vote for Donald Trump for president, the Washington Post reports: | |
| Hogan: "No, I don't plan to" when asked if he would vote for Donald Trump | |
| Hogan has been reluctant to talk about Trump, whose candidacy he clearly has not been enthralled with. Charlie Baker, the Republican governor of Massachusetts, has also said he will not vote for Trump. Other Republican governors, such as Susana Martinez of New Mexico and Brian Sandoval of Nevada... and Rick Snyder of Michigan... and Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota... seem to be seriously wavering. | |

| With historically high unfavorable ratings for both the major parties’ presumptive nominees, the Libertarian ticket may have an opportunity to attract significant support. A RealClearPolitics polling average of a three-way presidential race has Clinton at 40.7 points, Trump at 36.5 and Johnson at 8.5. There is a 15% threshold for inclusion in the presidential debates. | With historically high unfavorable ratings for both the major parties’ presumptive nominees, the Libertarian ticket may have an opportunity to attract significant support.
