The race to replace the late Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) in Congress is a crowded one, with more than 50 candidates looking to take the state’s only congressional seat. Donald Trump will certainly get to prove his status as a Republican kingmaker in this race, as he’s just announced his “complete and total endorsement” of former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
“Wonderful patriot Sarah Palin of Alaska just announced that she is running for Congress, and that means there will be a true America First fighter on the ballot to replace the late and legendary Congressman Don Young,” Trump said in a statement released Sunday night. “Sarah shocked many when she endorsed me very early in 2016, and we won big. Now, it’s my turn! Sarah has been a champion for Alaska values, Alaska energy, Alaska jobs, and the great people of Alaska.”
“She was one of the most popular Governors because she stood up to corruption in both State Government and the Fake News Media,” Trump continued. “Sarah lifted the McCain presidential campaign out of the dumps despite the fact that she had to endure some very evil, stupid, and jealous people within the campaign itself. They were out to destroy her, but she didn’t let that happen. Sarah Palin is tough and smart and will never back down, and I am proud to give her my Complete and Total Endorsement, and encourage all Republicans to unite behind this wonderful person and her campaign to put America First!”
Palin thanked Trump for the endorsement on Twitter. “Thank you President Trump!” she tweeted. “Honored to have your support in our campaign for Alaska.”
Thank you President Trump! Honored to have your support in our campaign for Alaska! 🇺🇸https://t.co/CrlfiG8MJn pic.twitter.com/Ne1x7nFcAa
