Fresh off his victory in the Nevada caucuses, Donald Trump remarked Wednesday that endorsements “mean very little” to him.
The Republican front-runner told George Stephanopoulos that though he has “many endorsements,” he does not “really go out and seek them.”
“Now, and as of yesterday, people were calling, a lot of people were calling and I’ll have many endorsements soon, but it’s not something I want to work for, to be honest with you, because it’s a waste of time. Endorsements mean very little,” Trump said Wednesday morning on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Trump explained that though he has “some excellent endorsements, and some that I’m very proud of,” they are “a lot of work.”
Trump, unlike rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, has no endorsements from any Republican governors or members of Congress. Some of his more recognizable endorsements are from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown and evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.
“They want me to go to a certain area, have a big news conference. I would rather be with the people, I’d rather work with the people and get the kind of numbers that we got yesterday, because those numbers were amazing,” the billionaire businessman said. “We won with every single group. Every single group. Men, women, evangelicals. We won with all sorts of education, if you talk about education to the highest level to a lower level, we won with that. We won with everything, George.”
