After a sluggish start to the 2024 campaign, there has come a frenzied three weeks
Seldom has such a short period 18 months before a presidential election had so many significant events crowded into it.
The notion may seem risible on the surface, but the 45th president has so thoroughly recast the Republican Party in his rebellious image that he is the ultimate insider in a political institution that once regarded him as a barbarian at its gated community. How important, in an age of social media and when the entire notion of “thought leaders” is passé, are the endorsements Republican candidates are assiduously seeking in this phase of the campaign?
Caveat: Most of Mr. Trump’s endorsements come from law makers in extremely safe seats and who thus are taking no risk in siding with him. Even so, as a former president with a well-known political and cultural brand, Mr. Trump does not need endorsements nearly as much as Mr. DeSantis does, because for the Florida Governor they would confer political legitimacy that Mr. Trump doesn’t need.
Mr. Trump also has the edge in an area with consequences that are more political than financial because the size of the average donation is indicative of popular rather than elite support. His average contributions are small.
