With former President Donald Trump holding off on making a new endorsement, David McCormick is turning to other influencers in the party in hopes of generating conservative enthusiasm.
Dave McCormick, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, right, is joined by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, during a campaign event in Coplay, Pa., Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022. HARRISBURG — With former President Donald Trump holding off on making a new endorsement in Pennsylvania’s closely watched Republican primary for U.S. Senate, former hedge fund CEO David McCormick is turning to other influencers in the party in hopes of generating conservative enthusiasm.
It was a preview of McCormick’s campaign strategy of enlisting an all-star roster of party stalwarts and Trump White House insiders, including adviser Hope Hicks and press secretary Sarah Sanders, who is now running for Arkansas governor. “Pennsylvania could very well decide this entire election,” Cruz said. “The Senate is in the balance. I believe if we win in Pennsylvania, we will defeat Chuck Schumer. And if we lose in Pennsylvania, I think in all likelihood, Schumer remains the majority leader.”
The national party is officially neutral, and party officials don’t expect Trump to make another endorsement in the race any time soon.
