Trump Reinstates Support For Jeff Hurd

“President Trump on Friday reversed himself and re-endorsed Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO), an unusual move that came a month after he pulled his support from Mr. Hurd over a disagreement about tariffs,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump’s previous decision to withdraw his endorsement from Mr. Hurd and back his right-wing primary opponent, Hope Scheppelman, concerned some Colorado Republicans. They saw her as a divisive figure who could endanger the party’s chance of holding the seat in the general election if she advanced past the primary.”
