Former President Donald Trump’s assistance wasn’t enough to carry Attorney General Daniel Cameron across the finish line Tuesday. Two days before the election, Trump said his support boosted Cameron by 25 points. The day after the election, Trump said the McConnell connection was too much to overcome, while presidential candidate Chris Christie blamed the loss on Trump. Longtime political reporter Al Cross responded this way:
“Neither of Trump’s statements are true. And Chris Christie’s statement isn’t true. It turned out that Trump really didn’t have all that much effect in the election.”
