Trump baffles with 'stunning reversal' as he endorses candidate he'd slammed as 'RINO'

President Donald Trump left at least one reporter baffled Friday after re-endorsing a candidate he previously abandoned and derided as a “RINO,” or “Republican in Name Only.”

That candidate is Rep. Jeffrey Hurd (R-CO), who last October received a glowing endorsement from Trump in his re-election bid. After Hurd came out against Trump’s tariff policy last month, however, Trump angrily withdrew that endorsement, labeling Hurd as a “RINO” who was “more interested in protecting foreign countries” than in the United States.
