Worried about backing a losing candidate in the Pennsylvania Senate race, former President Trump is apt to hold off until he has a clearer idea of who’s most likely to win, Republicans close to him and candidate David McCormick say.
As of now, Trump is not convinced that McCormick is the right Republican and has voiced misgivings about his ability to make inroads with Pennsylvania’s blue-collar voters, said one person who recently discussed the race with the former president. Oz, meanwhile, has made frequent appearances on Fox News. And Fox News’s Hannity has touted Oz’s candidacy in conversations with Trump, according to two people close to the former president.
The former president has been talking to allies and Republican strategists, sounding them out on the strengths and vulnerabilities of the different candidates. With Trump’s backing, Parnell had been the early front-runner but exited the race late last year after losing a custody battle involving his three children. Were Trump to rush into another endorsement only to see it backfire, he’d risk undercutting his status as a GOP kingmaker.
“Pennsylvania is a critical part of the MAGA ticket in 2022 and President Donald J. Trump continues to pay careful attention to the race,” he said, using the shorthand for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Bartos, who has run on a hyperlocal strategy and is familiar to grassroots activists from his 2018 run for lieutenant governor, finished first in the recent straw poll.
