Trump Re-Endorses Jeff Hurd as Hope Scheppelman Ends Primary Bid

Center outlets give a straightforward account that also includes Scheppelman’s criticism of Hurd and possible 2028 challenge. Right-leaning outlets foreground Trump’s renewed endorsement after his earlier withdrawal over Hurd’s tariff vote and Scheppelman’s departure for a role in Trump’s administration.
