EXCLUSIVE: Michigan Republican Congressional Delegation Endorses Trump for 2024 Presidential Run
In a major show of support, every member of the Michigan Republican congressional delegation has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the White House in the 2024 election. This endorsement marks a significant development in one of the earliest Republican primary states.
The endorsements were received from Republican Representatives Jack Bergman, Bill Huizenga, John James, Lisa McClain, John Moolenaar, and Tim Walberg. In a joint statement to Fox News Digital, the lawmakers expressed their pride in endorsing Trump.
According to the lawmakers, during Trump’s presidency, America experienced prosperity, a strong economy, and increased safety on a global scale. They also highlighted Trump’s ability to deliver results from day one and his success in winning battleground states such as Michigan, where he became the only Republican to win a presidential race since 1988.
Michigan, with its significant number of electoral votes, played a crucial role in Trump’s 2016 presidential victory. By winning Michigan, Trump became the first Republican in 28 years to secure the state in a presidential election.
The timing of this endorsement is notable as Michigan is set to host its nominating contests on February 27, 2024, ahead of Super Tuesday. This positions Michigan as one of the early decisive states in the GOP presidential primary calendar.
The endorsements were coordinated by Brian Jack, former Trump White House political director and current senior aide to the Trump campaign. A senior campaign aide revealed that Trump had been actively cultivating relationships with members of Congress, including those in the Michigan delegation, over the years.
Trump’s support base is expanding, with recent endorsements coming from Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Tennessee. The Trump campaign plans to announce additional endorsements from key states in the following weeks.
In response to the endorsements, a Trump spokesperson expressed confidence in the support received, stating that it signifies Republicans rallying behind Trump as the only candidate capable of halting President Joe Biden’s policies. The spokesperson emphasized the negative impact of Biden’s policies on the economy and national security.
As the 2024 presidential race gains momentum, it remains to be seen how these endorsements will influence the Republican primary and the overall landscape of the upcoming election.
