Former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) didn't hold back in his criticism of Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) 2024 presidential campaign, saying it was "one of the worst I have seen so far."

Speaking with CBS News's Major Garrett, Hogan said the Florida governor has "dropped like a rock" and is floundering against the Republican front-runner, former President Donald Trump.

“I think DeSantis really underperformed,” Hogan answered when asked what his assessment of his campaign was so far. “He started making all kinds of mistakes. I think the campaign is one of the worst I’ve seen so far and he’s dropped like a rock.”

Hogan said DeSantis has made several mistakes, including wading into culture war issues and criticizing the war in Ukraine.

"He’s got some strengths, but he’s also got some weaknesses," said Hogan. "I mean, he just doesn’t connect with people. He’s not a good campaigner. He’s not a good debater.”

He also predicted that the campaign "is getting close to being over."

While he didn't entirely rule out a potential comeback, he said DeSantis "is heading in the wrong direction."

Rumors have swirled about Hogan launching his own presidential campaign. Hogan did not rule out a run of his own but said that he was devoting his efforts to making sure Trump won't be the Republican nominee.
