This week, An America United announced the schedule of Governor Hogan’s book tour, along with a new cover, publication date, and title of the book: "Still Standing: Surviving Riots, Cancer, a Global Pandemic, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America." 
 
 
An America United will be hosting virtual book events with Governor Hogan and leaders like Condoleezza Rice, Chris Christie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jeb Bush. Sign up here.
 
This announcement is already prompting a national conversation on the future of the Republican party after 2020. Governor Hogan also spoke with FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC’s TODAY Show​ about why he wrote Still Standing. 
 
 
 
"An America United and BenBella Books – the publisher of Governor Hogan’s upcoming book – announced the schedule of Governor Hogan’s book tour, along with a new cover, publication date, and title of the book.
 
New Publication Date and Title: Still Standing: Surviving Cancer, Riots, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America was originally scheduled to be published on June 9th. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck Maryland, Governor Hogan delayed the publication date until July 28th.
 
Given Governor Hogan’s central role in leading the states during the pandemic, Still Standing will now include his behind-the-scenes story of this once in a generation event, offering one of the first historical accounts of how governors and the federal government responded during this crisis. As a result, the previous title of the book “Still Standing: Surviving Riots, Cancer, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America” has been updated to 'Still Standing: Surviving Riots, Cancer, a Global Pandemic, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America.'
 
About Still Standing: Still Standing is the inside story of an unlikely Governor leading through crisis and sparking a new kind of politics.

As the rookie Republican governor of deep-blue Maryland, Larry Hogan had already beaten some daunting odds. He had won a long-shot election the Washington Post called “a stunning upset.” He’d worked to quell Baltimore’s worst rioting in 47 years. He’d stared down entrenched political bosses to save his state from fiscal catastrophe, winning praise from Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
 
But none of that prepared him for the life-threatening challenge he would have to face next: a highly aggressive form of late-stage cancer. Could America’s most popular governor beat the odds again? The people of Maryland, with their “Hogan Strong” wristbands, sent him back to the governor’s office in a landslide. As Governor Hogan began his second term cancer-free, his next challenge went far beyond Maryland: bringing the nation’s governors and our divided country together for 'urgent action”'to confront a once-in-a-generation global pandemic.
 
Still Standing is a timely reminder that perseverance, compassion, and leadership in the face of unexpected obstacles is at the heart of the American spirit.
 
In his own own words and unique, plain-spoken style, Governor Hogan tells his story. A lifelong uniter at a time of sharps divisions. What the Washington Post calls a 'forceful, can do' leader with practical solutions that take the best from all sides. An open-hearted man who has learned important lessons from his own struggles in life. The rare Republican unafraid of the president, whom National Journal touts as 'well-positioned for a presidential run.'

"The announcement of Governor Hogan’s virtual book tour for his upcoming book, 'Still Standing: Surviving Riots, Cancer, a Global Pandemic, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America,' has prompted a national conversation on the future of the Republican party after 2020. 
 
Here’s what they’re saying about the GOP’s future post-2020: 
 
The Washington Post: 'Will there be room in the Republican Party for moderates after Trump is gone? Could one such Republican even win the party’s presidential nomination? If it’s at all possible, Hogan seems like the kind of person who could do it. While he has plenty of critics, the fact that he was elected — and reelected — in Maryland, and has maintained high approval ratings, shows that he’s a savvy politician who knows how to navigate challenging terrain. In a state in which Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2 to 1, Hogan was reelected in 2018 by a 12-point margin.'
 
FOX News: 'Hogan, who won reelection in 2018 to a second term steering the blue state of Maryland, said in his book, ‘I do talk about my vision. My thoughts about where the Republican Party’s future should be. About the broken politics in America and how we should fix it. Some ideas about where the country should head.’ 
 
Asked if there will be an appetite for such ideas among 2024 Republican primary voters, the governor predicted that ‘the vast majority of people in America – regardless of what happens in this November’s election – are going to remain really frustrated with the political process – and regardless  of who wins.’ He forecast that ‘people are going to be looking for a different direction. I think people are frustrated with the divisiveness and dysfunction and the state of our politics today. It’s hard to tell how wide that audience is.'
 
CNN: 'No matter what happens this fall, the Republican presidential nomination will be open in 2024. Which means that even before we find out whether President Donald Trump will be finishing up his second term or Joe Biden will be ending his first, the jockeying for what the post-Trump Republican Party will look like has already begun....And Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is one of the earliest movers in that early fight to be the new (or next) face of the GOP...The best politicians are the ones who see where their party and the country is headed (Bill Clinton in 1992, Barack Obama in 2008) before everyone else. Maybe Hogan is that guy.'
 
The New York Times: 'Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, a popular Republican governor who has drawn national attention for publicly challenging President Trump on the coronavirus, announced on Tuesday that he was starting a virtual book tour for his new memoir, elevating his profile.”
 
 

“Governor Hogan spoke with FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC's TODAY Show about why he wrote his upcoming book, 'Still Standing: Surviving Riots, Cancer, a Global Pandemic, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America.'
 
As Governor Hogan discussed in an interview with Fox News, the book describes Governor Hogan’s 'vision...thoughts about where the Republican Party’s future should be,” and “the broken politics in America and how we should fix it.'  
 
In the book, Governor Hogan argues that 'the vast majority of people in America – regardless of what happens in this November’s election – are going to remain really frustrated with the political process – and regardless of who wins people are going to be looking for a different direction.”
