Donald Trump has not won over Republican Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.
Snyder told the editorial board of the Detroit News Wednesday that he will not be endorsing Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
“I’ve stayed out of the whole thing, and I’m going to continue to,” Snyder told the Detroit News Wednesday. “I’ve got important things I want to work on in Michigan.”
Unlike some other Republican governors and members of Congress, who have declined to endorse Trump but have still said they would support him as nominee, Snyder doesn’t appear to be splitting such hairs and is reportedly remaining neutral in the race.
Snyder did not endorse in the March primary in the state saying at the time that he was going to remain focused on the lead water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
Instead of spending time in the presidential fray, Snyder told the Detroit News editorial board that he plans to work to keep the Republican majority in the state House.
“When I look at the upcoming election in November, my biggest issue is hopefully re-electing the House, because I think that’s important,” Snyder told the newspaper. “We’ve had a great partnership there, and I think it’d be great to continue that.”
Snyder’s lieutenant governor Brian Calley, who once supported Ohio Gov. John Kasich, has called for the party to rally around Trump.
