Why these 7 Republican senators still aren't endorsing Trump
Business Insider ^ | 9/152024 | Metzger

Several GOP senators have not endorsed Trump — and likely won't before the election. Some of them voted to impeach Trump after January 6 and have sworn him off entirely. Others are keeping their vote private or have specific reasons for withholding a formal endorsement.

In the interview, Paul said he is supportive of Trump, but he hasn’t decided to take “an active role, endorse and go out and campaign for him.”

“I think that it’s important that if he wants to get my vote and my support and wants me to be more active in this, that he’s going to have to be more vocal on things like the lockdowns that I opposed, like the civil liberties abuses that I opposed, like the debt, which frankly, has been bad under Republicans and Democrats, so I’m looking for a little bit more before I make a final decision,” he told Spectrum News.

Cassidy is up for re election in 2026 in Louisiana and he has changed his tune to support Trump.

Collins tends to be the last one to vote and will vote with the Republicans if they need her but won’t if they don’t.

Murkowski is the unknown.

What is important is to give Trump and his team a chance. If they can get the size of the government rolled back and Americans see the benefits then it’s going to be a real turnaround for America and be like the 1816 to 1820 era.

Yeah, I will still vote to primary him. Because he doesn’t have my support this time around.

Romney retired. He will not be a US Senator after Jan 2025

So this is the list who will be against his “controversial” picks plus Mitch.

Romney is gone

"Collins, the Maine senator who's among the most moderate figures in the contemporary GOP, said in July that she will be writing in former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley for President this November."

"Collins voted to convict Trump after January 6, and she has never endorsed him."

MODERATE?????

"Much like Collins, Murkowski is a more moderate Republican senator — one who voted to convict Trump after January 6.

"Earlier this year, she made clear that she would not vote for Trump in 2024"

MODERATE???

“Cassidy is a wishy washy A-Hole”

The vile worm ran last time as a Trump supporter and upon re-election he ran off to Congress and voted to impeach Trump.

He is a democrat running as a Republican. He switched parties but never changed his democrat, that is to say, his instinctively deceptive mindset.

I think Collins and Cassidy are up for reelection in 2026

Trump won Louisiana by 22 percentage points. Kennedy is either going to go full MAGA or be retired by the Republican voters in 2026. (Louisiana has adopted a closed primary system.) As for Collins, she is likely the best you can get in Maine.

I think Collins and Murkowski are both up for re-election in ‘26, so there is a strong possibility, considering the mandate DJT received, that 5hey both might be more likely to support DJT in order to keep their jobs. Possibly the case for the other “non-Trumpers” as well.

Just MHO . . .
