Trump Endorses Arizona and Iowa Republicans in New Posts
President Trump endorsed Republican candidates in Arizona and Iowa on Truth Social, backing Rep. Paul Gosar for reelection, Rep. Andy Biggs for Arizona governor, and businessman Zach Lahn for Iowa governor. In the posts, he cast each as an “America First” loyalist and tied the endorsements to familiar themes of border security, taxes, energy, elections, and the Second Amendment. The messages also underscored his continuing role as a party kingmaker in state-level races, especially where candidates closely mirror his political brand.
Republican Endorsements in Arizona and Iowa
CampaignTrump endorsed Rep. Paul Gosar for reelection in Arizona’s 9th Congressional District, backed Rep. Andy Biggs for governor of Arizona, and supported Zach Lahn for governor of Iowa. In each post, he praised the candidates as strong “America First” allies and linked them to priorities such as border security, tax cuts, energy production, and gun rights.
These endorsements show Trump continuing to use Truth Social as a direct instrument of party discipline and candidate promotion. By rewarding loyal conservatives who echo his core themes, he reinforces his influence over Republican primaries and signals to activists which candidates best fit the Trump-aligned brand. The choices also reflect a strategic emphasis on governor’s races and safe congressional seats, where his backing can shape future state policy and help determine who will be a reliable partner in implementing his agenda.
