The Colorado Republican Party endorsed former President Donald Trump’s bid for another term late Sunday, nearly two months before state voters are set to cast ballots in Colorado’s presidential primary.
In an unprecedented decision, the state GOP’s central committee voted to endorse Trump over objections from some Republicans that the move abandons the party’s policy of staying neutral in primaries.
The party approved the endorsement in an online meeting of its roughly 400-member governing committee, held on the eve of the GOP’s first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, where polling shows Trump holds a commanding lead.
The endorsement resolution passed with 65% of the committee voting in favor, 34% voting against, and the remainder abstaining.
