If they think he will be a draw to raise money, seems unlikely.

There are two kinds of people that draw a crowd in politics.

1) The ones you want to meet because of what they have done in the past

2) The ones you want to meet because of what they can do for you in the future

He meets neither criteria.

Starting in December 2008, an investigation and trial found Blagojevich guilty of public corruption after he attempted to solicit bribes to occupy the U.S. Senate seat vacated by then president-elect Barack Obama. Blagojevich was impeached in 2009, later convicted, and ultimately sentenced to 14 years in federal prison. After an appeal and public support for his release, U.S. President Donald Trump formally commuted his sentence in 2020; imprisoned for nearly eight years, the executive order ended his sentence six years early.

I'd be surprised if he DIDN'T support Trump.
