Not endorsing Kathy keeps a lot of money focused on McCormick and Oz destroying each other. That gives Kathy's low budget relief to focus on advancing and not fighting of dark money. I could be wrong but i"m in PA and am trying to think logically about the bigger context of the Oz endorsement.
It makes no sense though when you see what Trumps endorsement did for JD Vance...and he was kind of the same story with people here warning about him being a snake. But it didnt split votes to make another candidate rise...it shot him to the top. I think the thing that makes the most sense is Trump doesnt always get it right. He is human guys.
Were the ohio voters repulsed by Vance to begin with though? Not just neutral but very much opposed to Vance like a lot are of Oz in PA? That sentiment is why we're having this conversation.
Yeah me too. But Trump touts his whatever and 0 on his endorsements winning. I've thought through all the possibilities, and it doesn't make full sense on endorsing Oz, have him lose, and then the candidate he wants to endorse wins but he can't claim credit for it.
Whoever wins has to be electable by Democrats in the primaries -- and Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have a lot of Dem voters. They're not likely to vote for anyone Trump likes. Oz and McCormick have deep pockets. McCormick has ties back to China:
