Trump has no plans to endorse GOP incumbant in 3 Senate races

There are three sitting Republican senators President Donald Trump has not endorsed for reelection. He has no imminent plans to change that.

Trump last week called for the electoral defeat of Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and four other GOP senators who backed a procedural vote to curb his military powers in Venezuela.

But Trump has no plans to endorse against her and is in no hurry to weigh in on the Texas and Louisiana GOP primaries, according to four people familiar with the White House’s thinking and granted anonymity to share it. Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana have publicly expressed hope for an endorsement in their races.

The strategy behind not endorsing in the three races is that Trump may still need their votes in the Senate and the White House is invested in keeping a Republican majority, even if it’s an imperfect one, according to three of those people. Though the president can change his mind and support a candidate via social media at a moment’s notice.

Go Donny, you don't need those people.
