Gedolim tend to head tax exempt organizations. They avoid endorsing candidates so as to avoid risking their tax exempt status.
Further, endorsement implies knowledge of the ramifications of each respective candidate’s victory. Unlike in Israel, gedolim in the US are not privy to backroom deals in national elections.
