“There might have been cases where Trump endorses the less conservative candidate in favor of some rich guy who can self-fund, but I don’t think Trump has favored RINOs very often.”
Trump Endorsements
House of Representatives primary endorsements 2024:
Michael Turner (R-OH)
Troy Balderson (R-OH)
Mike Bost (R-IL)
Hal Rogers (R-KY)
John Carter (R-TX)
* This is only the house in 2024. There are more.
My research shows that they are all RINOs based on their voting records. I hope you will verify the information.
I didn’t mean to imply that Sessler is a RINO. I meant to say that Trump has been known to favor RINOs over other Republican candidates even in close primary races.
Jerrod Sessler has virtually no chance of unseating Dan Newhouse in 2024. Newhouse crushed him in 2022. Tiffany Smiley is a much better candidate.
I’m always amazed when Republicans vote overwhelmingly for RINOs in safe Republican districts. The worst RINO in the House of Representatives is Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania’s 1st congressional district). He’s in a safe Republican district and will be reelected by a wide margin in 2024.
The Democrats would never allow this to happen in a Democrat safe district.
Republican voters are their own worst enemy.
Trump loves endorsing RINOs. He’ll stay with Sessler over Smiley even if Smiley has a better chance of defeating Newhouse.
