While a few of his primary endorsements have floundered, his own brand remains strong with his rabid followers who are highly motivated to make any of his wishes come true, Stoddard suggested. That, in turn, she wrote could bedevil Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who is trying to move forward from Trump, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who is trying to hold onto his leadership position as GOP House members loyal to the ex-president plot against him.
