Congressman Andy Harris says he will not only support presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump he will campaign for him.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that during a town hall meeting in Fruitland on Wednesday he told the crowd that he particularly likes Trump’s choices for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Eastern Shore Republican’s endorsement follows on the heels of a decision by the top GOP official in the state Governor Larry Hogan who said he would not endorse or vote for Trump.
Harris’ comments came in response to a question from the audience at the Diamond Back Lodge in Fruitland.
Afterward during an interview by the Daily Times reporter he said that the election is between two candidates and that Trump would be better for the country than presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
He also brushed aside any impact on the down ballot races despite the controversial nature of Trump’s campaign and the fact, that for now, the Republican is somewhat behind Clinton in the polls.
Harris has $667-thousand on hand for his re-election campaign while his Democratic rival Joe Werner reportedly has not any raised in money yet.
