LANSING, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump isn't ready to make an endorsement in Michigan's Republican primary race for governor, two of his top allies in the state contended on Tuesday.
One of those confidants, GOP attorney general candidate Matthew DePerno, spoke to Trump on Monday night, said Tyson Shepard, spokesman for DePerno's campaign. In the conversation, it was "abundantly clear that the president is not ready to endorse Tudor Dixon at this point," Shepard told The Detroit News on Tuesday.
There have been expectations among some Michigan Republicans that Trump would soon support Dixon, a conservative commentator and businesswoman from Norton Shores, in the five-candidate primary contest.
