Why It Matters: Robinson’s endorsement comes amidst a crowded GOP primary race for the 2024 presidential election. Former Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) recently announced that he would not support Trump if he becomes the GOP presidential nominee in 2024, as reported by Benzinga.

Meanwhile, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R – Florida) is gaining ground against Trump in the crowded Republican presidential primary, according to a poll released on Thursday. Despite the crowded field, Trump has yet to decide on participating in the GOP primary debate, expressing concerns about letting his Republican rivals take shots at him, as reported by Benzinga.
