"Trump-Skeptical Republicans Begin to Align with GOP Majority"
Donald Trump is gaining support from Republican senators, a group that was initially skeptical of his 2024 presidential bid. His campaign has been actively seeking endorsements, and he has secured 18 from Senate GOP members, with a mix of personal attention and the perception of his nomination as inevitable. While some senators like Mitch McConnell remain distant, others have come around, seeing the benefits of aligning with Trump. The endorsements are significant for Trump, who values them as political capital. Despite this progress, there are still doubters within the Senate GOP, and Trump's ability to win over more skeptics hinges on his success in the primaries.
