contrary to Trump’s endorsements this year, pumped more than $4 million into Brooks’s race, according to Federal Election Commission reports. On Monday, the campaign is holding events with Sens.
Ted Cruz , a likely challenger to Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024, and Rand Paul .“When it comes to Donald Trump, every Republican candidate on earth professes their allegiance to President Trump,” Cruz said. “The reason I’m here is because I’ve seen this man stand and fight. Talk is cheap.”
The campaign’s internal research showed that barely half of the electorate was ever aware that Trump had endorsed Brooks, spokesman Will Hampson said, so it’s likely many voters didn’t find out he lost it either. The sting was also softened by the fact that the former president never endorsed anyone else in the race, despite indicating at the time that he would. A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
“There’s nobody in the country that was more supportive of Donald Trump or the premise that 2020 was questionable and messed up than Mo Brooks,” said Dale Jackson, a talk radio host in northern Alabama who supports Brooks’s campaign. Trump’s revocation of his endorsement, Jackson said, “clearly did not have the desired impact.”In fact, his campaign originally stumbled when Brooks strayed from that message.
