Trump endorses Garbarino and other House Republicans
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to throw his support behind several House Republicans seeking reelection. In individual posts, Trump endorsed Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York, Troy Downing of Montana, Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, and Bryan Steil of Wisconsin.
As the GOP currently holds the majority in the House, the 2026 midterms will be crucial in determining whether the party will maintain control of the chamber during the latter part of Trump’s second term in office.
One notable endorsement was for Rep. Andrew Garbarino, who recently missed a vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that passed the House. House Speaker Mike Johnson explained that Garbarino had not made it in time as he had fallen asleep.
Garbarino expressed his disappointment, stating, “I was moments away from the House floor to vote ‘yes’ when the vote was closed.” Despite missing the vote, he emphasized his role in advocating for Long Island during the bill negotiations and pledged to support it when it returns to the House floor from the Senate.
In response to Trump’s endorsement, Garbarino tweeted, “Thank you, Mr. President, it’s an honor to serve NY-02.”
Trump’s backing of these House Republicans underscores his continued influence within the party and his efforts to secure Republican victories in the upcoming elections.
The support from Trump could prove pivotal in rallying Republican voters and boosting the chances of these candidates in retaining their seats. With the political landscape constantly evolving, the 2026 midterms will undoubtedly be closely watched as both parties vie for control of the House.
As the election season heats up, Trump’s endorsements carry significant weight among Republican voters, and his backing could be a deciding factor in determining the outcome of key races across the country.
Stay tuned for more updates on the latest developments in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms and the impact of Trump’s endorsements on the political landscape.
