Haslam's position on Trump questioned by Democratic Governors Association
The Democratic Governors Association on Wednesday called out Gov. Bill Haslam and eight other Republican governors for refusing to say whether they would support presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
The group named Haslam, along with the governors of New Mexico, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota and Ohio — which is the home of John Kasich, who suspended his presidential campaign on Wednesday — as the "Silent Nine."
“Former RGA (Republican Governors Association) Chair Bill Haslam is watching on as the Republican Party transforms into the party of Donald Trump,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “With Trump at the top of the ticket, Republican governors have nowhere left to hide. It’s time for Gov. Haslam and the rest of ‘The Silent Nine’ to declare whether they will support the presumptive Republican nominee."
As many as 21 Republican governors have said they would support Trump as the presidential nominee while one — Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts — has refused to support the real estate mogul.
