This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (June 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
This page is divided into two main sections. The first contains general election endorsements. Though the GOP primaries do not end until the RNC convention, Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee after John Kasich and Ted Cruz suspended their campaigns after the Indiana primary. For this reason, the section entitled "General Election Endorsements" includes endorsements months before the start of the actual general election. The second section includes Primary Campaign Endorsements made between Trump's campaign announcement in June 2015 and the Indiana GOP primary in May 3.
