Republicans ramp up support for candidates snubbed by Trump
By Max Greenwood - 03/21/22 04:18 PM EDT

Republicans are growing increasingly bold in their support for a handful of candidates snubbed by former President Donald Trump in hotly contested GOP primaries.

While Trump remains the most coveted endorser among Republicans, his picks in some races have stirred concern and frustration within some corners of the GOP, with some Republicans questioning whether the former president is picking the strongest candidates in potentially competitive races.

It’s a trend that’s not limited to Trump’s Republican critics. His former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, recently headlined a fundraiser for Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who is facing a Trump-backed primary challenge from Katie Arrington.

Likewise, retiring Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) is preparing to transfer as much as $6 million to a super PAC supporting one of his former aides, Katie Britt, in the GOP primary to succeed him in the Senate.

Trump is backing Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) in that primary, though he has recently expressed disappointment with Brooks’s performance.
