It was the summer of 2014 and Donald Trump was cultivating his future base by backing a fiery, insurgent conservative challenger who was seeking to oust a longtime incumbent senator in Mississippi’s Republican primary.
“Chris McDaniel looks like he will win in Mississippi - GREAT NEWS and big victory for Tea Party!” Trump tweeted at the time, aligning himself with the anti-establishment conservative outsider who ultimately failed to take out Sen. Thad Cochran.
Four years later, McDaniel is mounting another effort against establishment Republicans in Mississippi. But this time, President Trump isn’t backing McDaniel. He’s supporting GOP Sen. Roger Wicker, the incumbent favored by establishment Republicans in the race.
