BOSTON — After tossing trout into Jamaica Pond on Wednesday, Gov. Charlie Baker heaved aside his earlier notion that the Republican presidential nomination has not yet been decided.
The expected showdown between the likely Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton means the governor will not vote for the Republican presidential candidate for the first time in his memory.
One of the more vulnerable Senate Republicans — New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte — will support likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but won't endorse him.
Liz Johnson, a spokeswoman for the senator, said in a statement Wednesday that Ayotte "plans to support the nominee" — with no mention of Trump's name.
