Former President Trump worked his Pennsylvania primary endorsements to make him look like a winner, but Republicans in the state say the result could boomerang in ways that damage both the party and Trump's own chances should he run for president again.
for his efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s win and promote Trump’s stolen election lie.
Trump remains the most popular figure in the GOP and his endorsement is campaign gold for Republican candidates. But his endorsements nationwide have triggered a backlash from local Republican leaders in Ohio,, Pennsylvania and Georgia, where they feel as if Trump’s picks were haphazard, reckless or harmful to the party’s broader electoral objectives and even Trump’s long-term interests.
Turner noted Trump’s pick for Georgia attorney general, John Gordon, wasn’t a practicing lawyer for years and “While the [former] president’s endorsement might not be of any importance to establishment lapdogs and political has-beens, it is important to the people of Georgia’s 10th Congressional District,” Pearson said.
Meanwhile, a source close to the McCormick campaign told NBC News Thursday that Trump is"hedging his bet because he knows Oz is going to lose," when asked about Trump's push for Oz to declare victory while making baseless claims of cheating. Last year, Trump initially anointed Sean Parnell as his chosen candidate in the Senate race. But Parnell hadn’t been fully vetted and he soon exited the race after losing a child custody battle with his estranged wife, who accused him of domestic violence, a charge Parnell denies.
