Former President is expected to endorse Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance in Ohio's crowded Republican primary, Thursday.Sources told the network that the ex-president started calling around to allies about the potential endorsement, but held off after receiving pushback from supporters of rival candidates including former Ohio state Treasurer Josh Mandel and former Ohio Republican Party chair Jane Timken. 'The Mandel people hit the roof,' one Republican told NBC News, adding that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, a Mandel supporter and top ally of Trump's on Capitol Hill, jumped in to try and persuade Trump not to publicly back Vance.
