President Trump Endorses Two Republican Candidates for Governor

In social media posts, he backed the lieutenant governor of South Carolina and a member of Congress from Iowa. Both primaries are approaching quickly.

The lieutenant governor has served two terms alongside the current governor. Trump noted that the lieutenant governor campaigned for him in 2024. He also highlighted that the governor’s son could join the ticket as lieutenant governor.

Iowa’s primary is scheduled for Tuesday.

The congressman is one of five Republicans seeking the nomination to succeed the outgoing governor. Trump described the congressman as aligned with his agenda and said the candidate would focus on the economy, border security, and law enforcement.
