Since becoming a major force in Republican politics, Donald Trump has played a significant role in shaping U.S. Senate races by influencing GOP incumbents and contenders. In key battleground states like Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio, candidates are seeking Trump's endorsement or support in the GOP presidential primary as control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance.
However, in Pennsylvania, the dynamic between likely Republican nominee David McCormick and Trump is notably different. Despite their complicated relationship, which includes Trump endorsing one of McCormick's opponents in a previous primary, the two seem to be avoiding each other as the November election approaches.
