Some of the GOP’s biggest stars are helping vulnerable candidates in the final weeks of the midterm elections — while helping themselves to national exposure ahead of 2024.
The list of marquee names is long. Gov. Ron DeSantis, who rose to fame rejecting COVID-19 restrictions in Florida, has September rallies planned in Wisconsin and Kansas. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, whose surprise win in blue Virginia propelled him to national prominence, visited Maine this week to campaign for the state’s GOP gubernatorial candidate.
“There really is no risk to a potential candidate being on the stump, provided it is done for candidates that share your political philosophy and provided you don’t overstay your welcome too early in battleground states to the detriment of your own elected office,” Blakeman added.DeSantis has rallied for Pennsylvania’s Trump-aligned gubernatorial candidate, Doug Mastriano, even though the state’s retiring GOP senator, Pat Toomey, and others have declined to get involved in Mastriano’s race.
Youngkin, too, has planned a visit to Nevada but is slated to do so for gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo, not Laxalt. Pompeo has also formed a political action committee that lends financial support to Republicans, as have Republicans such as Haley. Her PAC, Stand for America, has raised more than $5 million for over 50 Republican candidates and groups.
