While most of those who served under former President Donald Trump’s cabinet reportedly declined or will not say whether they support their former boss, there is more loyalty by those who served in the cabinets of at least half of the others in the GOP presidential primary.

The Epoch Times reached out to those who served in the cabinets of former Govs. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.), Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.) and to those who have served under Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and Doug Burgum (R-N.D.). Most did not respond to requests for comment, and many could not be reached.
