Politico: “As of March 1, fewer than 20 House Republicans have formally endorsed Trump in the four months since he declared his third campaign… Roughly another dozen have publicly supported Trump in some way, though short of a formal endorsement.”
“The widespread hesitancy would not be notable in another era — or if a former president was not already in the race. But in this instance, the lack of public support is perhaps the clearest sign yet that members feel Trump’s support is no longer a prerequisite for political survival. Trump’s vengeance is now barely registering as a threat, after years as one of the most dominant forces in politics. … In interviews with nearly 20 House Republicans, many cited the uncertainty in the field as reason to keep quiet for now.”
