“Rev. Franklin Graham, one of the nation’s most prominent evangelical leaders and high-profile supporters of former President Donald Trump, says he won’t be endorsing anyone in the 2024 Republican primary race,” CBS News reports.
“Graham, who left the Republican Party in 2015 and has been an independent since then, does not generally endorse during the primaries, but his decision not to support Trump’s primary bid for 2024 may nonetheless come as a surprise because he was such an outspoken defender of him during his presidency and predicted in 2020 that Trump would go down in history as ‘one of the great presidents.’”
“Several other evangelical leaders, too, are waiting for the field to fill out in the next few months. It’s a sign that although he’s the former president and the only declared candidate, Trump is not entering the upcoming GOP primary season with the full backing of key allies and supporters.”
