Senate GOP recruit questions Trump's endorsement power

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a potential GOP candidate in the race to unseat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, has privately conveyed that while Trump’s endorsement “matters,” it doesn’t carry the same weight it used to. He pegged the proportion of Republican voters who would “vote for whoever” Trump endorses at just 20 percent. LaRose said he suspects that, should he enter the race, he would earn Trump’s support. But he didn’t think that “begging for it” would prove useful.
