My theory on why Trump won't endorse:
- Doesn't like Mastriano since he voted for the voter ID legislation in 2020
- Thinks Barletta is a loser for losing to Bob Casey in 2018 by double digits in what could've been a perfectly winnable race in Trump's eyes
- White is polling too low for Trump to endorse in order to protect his endorsement record, despite White likely being Trump's favorite in the race
Well this didn't age well, although I guess I was still (maybe?) right about his views on Barletta and White. Guess if he wanted to protect his precious endorsement record then he didn't really have a choice on endorsing Mastriano.
And with Mastriano now at a 10 point lead over Barletta in the Trafalgar poll, I think it's safe to say that as of now, Mastriano is the clear favorite for the nomination.
