Report: ‘Tension’ Mounts Between Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump over Her Refusal to Endorse Him as PromisedNick Gilbertson 19 Jul 2023
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), who served as White House press secretary during the Trump administration, has yet to endorse a candidate in the Republican presidential primary, reportedly causing friction in her relationship with former President Donald Trump.
Axios’s Alex Thompson and Worth Sparkman reported on the alleged “tensions” between Trump and Sanders on Wednesday, citing anonymous sources “familiar with the relationship.”
Sanders reportedly informed Trump’s team months ago that she would abstain from backing a presidential candidate until after Arkansas’s first legislative session, which concluded more than two months ago on May 1.
In a refuted New York Times report in March, the outlet claimed that Trump had spoken with Sanders, who received his early endorsement in her successful gubernatorial bid last year, about landing her support. She stated, “She would not yet do so, according to two people briefed on the discussion.” The left-leaning Times reported Trump was “disappointed,” but the wording of “yet” seemed to indicate she would eventually support him.
Trump denied he made such a request in a Truth Social post the next day, writing, “I never asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders for an endorsement.”
