The decision was made in a multi-hour meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Thursday. Trump gathered his top political lieutenants, including Donald Trump Jr., former campaign manager Bill Stepien, former deputy campaign manager Justin Clark, former campaign manager Brad Parscale, former White House social media director Dan Scavino and senior adviser Jason Miller. Alex Cannon, an attorney who has been advising the Trump team on the post-White House plans, was also present…

Stepien and Clark were tapped to oversee decisions about which candidates the former president will endorse. Trump’s support is much sought after, and jockeying has begun among Republican contenders looking to win the former president’s backing. Some Trump advisers have expressed a desire for the former president to take a measured approach when it comes to bestowing endorsements, and for there to be a process put in place to determine whether a candidate should qualify.
