77. What counts as "support" here and where are you getting your information from?

I would count support as voting for someone in an election, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't lived in a state where he could vote for any of those three in an election.

And while I don't remember if I've ever donated to a Republican campaign, I have voted in a Republican primary (to support a Republican that voted to impeach Trump vs his MAGA opponent) and I am most certainly not a Republican and I would hope no one would ever label me as such because they misconstrued my efforts to DEFEAT the worst Republicans as me supporting them.

We know that he previously voted for Trump and was promoting a "winning ticket" of Haley/Ramaswamy earlier this year -- both things someone that wants Democrats to win in the General Election would not do.
