NEW YORK (AP) — The ranks of forgotten Republicans are growing.
Some were forced out, such as Tim Pawlenty, a former two-term Minnesota governor who lost this week's bid for a political comeback. Some, such as the retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker, chose to leave on their own. Others still serve, but with a muted voice.
Whether members of Congress, governors or state party leaders, they are struggling to fit into President Donald Trump's Republican Party.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — As the last Republican to win statewide in traditionally blue Minnesota, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty hoped to be the party's savior by running for his old job. Voters instead chose a lesser-known local official who didn't carry the stigma of the GOP establishment or of calling President Donald Trump "unhinged."
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's bid to win his old job back fizzled Tuesday as the two-time governor who had harshly criticized Donald Trump late in the 2016 presidential campaign failed to connect with an electorate that has shifted in the years since he last held office.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans who once criticized President Donald Trump are now fighting each other for his support. Minnesota faces a #metoo moment. And Democrats weigh whether to send the "Iron Stache" to Congress.
What to watch as voters in four states — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont and Connecticut — head to the polls on Tuesday:
WHO LOVES TRUMP THE MOST?
In both Minnesota and Wisconsin, GOP candidates are vying to cast themselves as the strongest Trump supporter.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Candidates running for Minnesota governor hit the road Monday on the homestretch to the primary, with campaigns focused on making a final personal touch rather than pointed political attacks.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Seven years after his presidential aspirations fizzled, Tim Pawlenty is hoping to regain his winning touch and restart his political career in a familiar spot: Minnesota's Republican primary for governor.
The former two-term governor's name is the biggest in both parties in the wide-open and high-stakes race for the state's top job. Tuesday's primary will determine which of three Democrats and two Republicans succeed outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — Republican activists endorsed Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson for a second run at governor Saturday and Democrats backed longtime state Rep. Erin Murphy for the same race, but both still face certain primary challenges that could mean neither is on the ballot in November.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach joined former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty's campaign as his running mate on Thursday and she confirmed she was offered the spot before she left the state Senate last week after months of resisting her new position in Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton's administration.
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty says he plans to skip next month's Republican state convention and go straight to the August primary.
Pawlenty's move means he won't seek the party endorsement. In a statement Tuesday, his campaign says the two-term governor entered the race too late for to have a "fair fight" for the endorsement.
Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson is seen as the front-runner for endorsement, which brings party support and money.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Thursday he will run for his old job, ending months of speculation about a return to politics following his short-lived 2012 presidential campaign.
