Republican nominee for governor Geoff Diehl weighs in on Trump endorsement, COVID restrictions

Republican nominee for Massachusetts governor Geoff Diehl joined WBZ-TV political analyst Jon Keller to discuss a variety of topics, including his stance on COVID restrictions and his endorsement from former president Donald Trump.

Diehl was asked if he regrets pushing for Trump's endorsement and distancing himself from fellow Republican Gov. Charlie Baker. In Massachusetts, the former president's approval rating is in the mid-30s, while Baker's approval is close to 70%.

Diehl said that he does "appreciate everything (Baker's) done" in office, and added that he supported the former president because "Trump delivered four years that I thought was pretty successful for our country."

"At this point for me it's the support of the people of Massachusetts I'm most concerned with," Diehl said.
