"I have made clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not endorse Trump," Barr told NBC News.

According to a report obtained by the Daily Mail, only four of the 44 individuals who served in Trump's Cabinet have publicly stated their endorsement of his campaign, while several others, such as Barr, have expressed strong opposition or are actively working against his nomination.

The four Cabinet members who have publicly endorsed Trump's reelection are former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, his final Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former budget chief Russell Vought, and former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

The report also highlighted two high-profile former Trump officials who are directly challenging his bid to become the GOP nominee in 2024.

Former Vice President Mike Pence and former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley are both running against Trump in the upcoming Republican primary race. Notably, Pence has received the backing of Trump's former Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats.

According to Real Clear Politics, recent polling data suggests that Trump is currently the clear frontrunner in the race sitting comfortably at 52.4% of likely Republican voters. Trump polls 34 points ahead of over a dozen other candidates, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, currently in second place with 18.4%, and American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in third place with just 5.4% support.

It remains to be seen how this lack of endorsement from former Cabinet members will impact Trump's campaign moving forward.
