In his attempt to take down Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, Trump might have inadvertently done him a favor
BOSTON — Former President Donald Trump took his score-settling tour to Massachusetts this week in the hope of sticking it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker.The two-term governor is weighing another run, meaning a Republican could defy national trends to lead this solidly blue state for a third term.
Baker has said that he left his ballot blank in 2016 and again in 2020, rather than vote for Trump. What little relationship they had fell apart during the pandemic. Baker became a more vocal Trump critic in the final year of the president’s term and afterward, when he supported his second impeachment and rejected his unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
“In some respects, I’m not surprised for a whole bunch of reasons,” Baker said during an unrelated press briefing Wednesday. “But the bottom line is I’m really focused on Covid, focused on getting people back to work and focused on making sure that kids have the opportunity to go to school in person this year and trying to get us back to what I would describe as normal as fast as possible.”
“It legitimizes Diehl’s campaign, gives it a little bit more exposure,” Wakeman said. “People nationally will look at Geoff who would have never looked at him before, and that’s important. His fundraising advantage is with the national givers.” Baker, who’s been taking his time making up his mind about whether to run for a third term, reiterated Wednesday that it’s a “very personal” decision that he will make with his wife.
