Harvard University College Republicans’ letter detailing its decision to not endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump went viral in August and brought attention to Hillsdale’s chapter.
College Republicans President junior Brant Cohen said numerous media outlets — including ABC, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today — asked them why they haven’t endorsed Trump. Although Harvard’s chapter has endorsed the GOP nominee for the past 128 years, Hillsdale’s historically refrains from doing so.
“It’s not our job to endorse a candidate,” Cohen said. “We aim to provide the opportunities to teach students about conservative principles and let them think for themselves.”
Some media outlets lumped Hillsdale’s chapter with others, such as Harvard’s, claiming they’re revolting against Trump.
Cohen said they want to keep discussion open for all students on campus.Harvard University College Republicans’ letter detailing its decision to not endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump went viral in August and brought attention to Hillsdale’s chapter.
