Donald Trump’s presidential campaign will announce on Friday that he’s won the endorsements of more than half of Pennsylvania’s House GOP delegation, an illustration of the widespread support he’s maintained among congressional Republicans even after his federal indictment.
The former president’s Pennsylvania backing — from Reps. Mike Kelly, Dan Meuser, Scott Perry, Guy Reschenthaler and John Joyce — further cements his lead in congressional endorsements over his Republican rivals. As of Thursday evening, Trump had received the backing of 56 of the 63 House Republicans who had so far endorsed a candidate, according to FiveThirtyEight, which is tracking congressional endorsements. Trump’s closest competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has the support of five House Republicans.
Trump and his team have been pushing aggressively to win the backing of congressional Republicans: Earlier this week, he hosted several of the Pennsylvania members for dinner at his Bedminster, N.J. golf club. Brian Jack, Trump’s former White House political director, coordinated the endorsements with the help of TV ad maker John Brabender, a Pennsylvania political veteran.
