Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) is ready for the Republican Party to start looking ahead, he told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday.

During an appearance on State of the Union, the moderate Republican said the GOP is "sometimes focused on the wrong things." There are "certain things we want to stand up to President Biden," he continued. "The inflation is out of control and we're talking about billions more in spending, trillions of more spending. We want to make sure that we do stand up and speak out."
