Trump Endorses John Wahl for Alabama Lieutenant Governor

President Trump backed John Wahl’s bid for lieutenant governor in Alabama and used Truth Social to press his long-running fight over surveillance powers, demanding that FISA be paired with the full Save America Act. He also attacked Democrats over Bill Pulte’s possible role as acting director of national intelligence and suggested GOP leaders were moving too quickly on nominations. The posts blended electioneering, loyalty politics and an effort to frame national security fights as part of a broader battle against his opponents.

John Wahl Alabama Lieutenant Governor Endorsement

Campaign

Trump endorsed John Wahl, the former chairman of the Alabama GOP, in the race for lieutenant governor. He cast Wahl as a trusted ally in Alabama and urged voters to turn out for the June 16 runoff.

This endorsement shows Trump continuing to use Truth Social as a direct patronage and turnout tool in state-level Republican races, especially where loyalty to him is a central credential. By tying Wahl to Trump’s past Alabama victories and emphasizing familiar themes like border security, taxes, energy and elections, Trump is reinforcing a movement-style message that blends local campaigning with national culture-war priorities. The post also signals that he still treats endorsements as a way to reward loyal operatives and keep state parties aligned with his agenda.

"John Wahl has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Lieutenant Governor of Alabama."

"The Runoff is Tuesday, June 16th. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR JOHN — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
