Former President Donald Trump is endorsing"Eric" in a race for Missouri's open Senate seat that features two top candidates with that first name.
"There is a BIG Election in the Great State of Missouri, and we must send a MAGA Champion and True Warrior to the U.S. Senate, someone who will fight for Border Security, Election Integrity, our Military and Great Veterans, together with having a powerful toughness on Crime and the Border," Trump said."We need a person who will not back down to the Radical Left Lunatics who are destroying our Country.
In a post on his social media site, Truth Social, last month, Trump ruled out endorsing Hartzler, saying she didn’t have “what it takes,” while praising Greitens in an interview with the hard-right One America News Network as “tough” and “smart.” Still, Trump acknowledged in the same interview that Greitens was the candidate Democrats “legitimately want to run against,” describing him as “controversial” but adding that he has “endorsed controversial people before.
"I’m grateful for President Trump’s endorsement," Schmitt said in a campaign statement."As the only America First candidate who has actually fought for election integrity, border security & against the Left’s indoctrination of our kids — I’ll take that fight to the Senate to SAVE AMERICA!""From the beginning, I’ve been the true MAGA Champion fighting against the RINO establishment backing Schmitt," the ex-governor continued.
