Both candidates, Mehmet Oz and JD Vance, have been criticized for time spent outside their states and being insufficiently committed to the former president and his “America First” agenda.
President Donald Trump’s late endorsements
The blowback has included calls by a major conservative group aligned with a Vance rival to boycott the rally Trump is holding Saturday night to try to boost his candidate. The state’s tea party movement, which overwhelmingly supports Trump, is also planning a protest outside. In Ohio, Trump’s endorsement has been a major boon to Vance, who had been trailing in the polls before Trump’s intervention. While allies concede Trump’s announcement at 5 p.m. on Good Friday, less than three weeks before the May 3 primary election, may not have been the most desirable timing, the campaign nonetheless reports a 300% increase in online donations — a majority from new donors — including $20,000 raised online and $30,000 by bundlers that Friday alone.
In Pennsylvania, Oz is seeing a similar bump since Trump’s surprise April 9 endorsement in his close race against former hedge fund CEO David McCormick. The week following Trump’s endorsement was the best digital fundraising week for Oz since his campaign launched late last year, with the campaign bringing in nearly three times as much money as it had the week before, said campaign manager Casey Contres.
“Trump’s endorsement has given people a chance to stop and think and go, ‘Wait a minute. I’ve seen this guy on TV helping people for 30 years. Trump sees it, too. And now I’m going to take a second look,’” Fredericks said. Trump assured listeners that the doctor was the only candidate who has his support and the only one he believes can win the general election.
