Gubernatorial candidate Geoff Diehl has picked up the support of former president Donald Trump in next year's race.
Trump spoke with Diehl over the phone Tuesday, saying that he will be an outstanding governor, adding that baker is a “rino” – or ‘republican in name only’ - who has done nothing for the party.
Trump went on to say that Governor Baker is “bad on crime, disrespects our police, does nothing for our veterans, has totally botched the vaccination rollout, presided over the collapse of the MBTA, and has seen crime go to record levels.”
Baker has not announced whether he will be seeking a third term next year.
