“I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I know people are upset with what happened and many are still not keen on supporting Teirab,” Beck continued.
Some Rahm supporters have been reluctant or have refused to back Teirab because he didn’t follow through on his pledge to drop out of the race if he did not get the party’s endorsement.
Some view Teirab as an establishment candidate, and point to Rep. Tom Emmer’s joint fundraising committee backing Teirab as evidence of the majority whip and Washington’s influence in the high-stakes race.
Teirab said in an interview ahead of the vote that he feels confident about his chances heading into Tuesday.
“I’ve talked to so many people that supported my primary opponent, who I think is a great American and made a tough decision, but I think we’re all on the same page and unified against Angie Craig,” Teirab said.
Rahm did not throw his support behind Teirab after he left the race. When asked if he has heard from Rahm since his primary victory, Teirab would not say.
