Trump's first congressional primary endorsement

"Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) won her seat in Congress in 2010 with the help of Sarah Palin and conservative, tea party-aligned grassroots groups. Now those kinds of groups are actively trying to push her out of office in Tuesday's primary. They accuse her of abandoning her conservative principles and are running ads against her. The Tea Party Patriots group is even backing her fellow incumbent primary opponent, Rep. George Holding (R-N.C.). (The two incumbents face off because the state's congressional map had to be redrawn.)
In a more traditional election year, losing those groups' support would be very bad news for a candidate like Ellmers; groups like the Club for Growth often lead the charge when it comes to unseating incumbents. But this is no traditional election cycle, and Ellmers thinks she has a secret weapon to fight back against the tea party: Donald Trump.
The Club for Growth spent millions against Trump in the presidential primary, and now Ellmers is bragging she was the first female member of Congress to endorse him. On Saturday, her campaign released a robo-call recorded by Trump. "I need her help in Washington so we can work together to defeat ISIS, secure our border and bring back jobs and frankly so many other things," he says on the call." WashingtonPost
