President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued five endorsements in key House races ahead of the primary contests.
A series of Truth Social posts, Trump backed San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond to represent California’s 48th District, businessman Jim Kingston to represent Georgia’s 1st, state Rep. Houston Gaines for Georgia’s 10th, ex-CIA officer Eric Conroy for Ohio’s 1st, and Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding for Nebraska’s 2nd.
In the narrowly divided House, every race could prove decisive in the November battle for control of the chamber.
Trump called Desmond a “brave U.S. Navy Veteran” who “knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country.”
Kingston, he said, “will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Champion School Choice, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”
