In fact, Trump was secretly courting Jake Corman, the State Senate President Pro Tempore, who knee-capped Mastriano, fired his staff, and killed the audit in Pennsylvania.
Trump only endorsed Mastriano a week before the primary, after Corman dropped out (twice), and it became clear that Mastriano was going to win on his own. Trump literally jumped in front of Doug's parade and claimed credit for his hard-earned primary win.

Good info. Thanks for posting.
Of course, there will be some of the same crew that says that some of the articles are ridiculous given they are from Politico, etc.
All you can say to that is - the art of discernment is pretty much non-existent across wide swaths of each tribe.
President Trump may very well be the 2024 nominee. But he will need to win that nomination, no matter what.
