BREAKING: President Trump Picks Up Major Republican Endorsement For President

On Sunday, Sen, Bill Hagerty (R-TN) endorsed 45th President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Hagerty is the eighth GOP Senator to endorse Trump for the presidency with other notable names including Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Ted Budd (R-NC).

“It is my honor to give my whole-hearted endorsement to Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the United States,” the Tennessee Republican wrote on Twitter. “I was honored to previously serve in his Administration.”

“President Trump stood up against Communist China, brought an end to Obama’s failed approach of ‘leading from behind,’ and revived our military and law enforcement as they witnessed support from their Commander-in-Chief that had been lacking—and has now gone missing again after two years of Joe Biden’s presidency,” he added.

”The mandate for a strong America has never been clearer, and I look forward to working again with President Trump to help our great nation find its way back from the precipice to the exceptional role we can and must play as a nation,” Hagerty concluded.

It is my honor to give my whole-hearted endorsement to Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the United States. I was honored to previously serve in his Administration.

President Trump spent time with Hagerty Saturday morning with a round of golf, according to Politico, prior to his speech at the Republican National Committee in Nashville.

During his speech, Trump declared that “the old Republican Party is gone, and it is never coming back.”

Trump emphasized his role in transforming the party in 2016 to a focus more on right-leaning national populism rather than the Republican Party during the Bush era saying that he “saved” the Republican Party from “the establishment class.”

“Republicans were a party known for starting wars overseas, cutting Social Security and Medicare at home, and pushing mass amnesty for illegal aliens,” he said according to a copy of his remarks obtained by Politico.

The leading Republican candidate emphasized his various policy proposals, as outlined in his “Agenda 47” videos, for four more years at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Amongst some of the policy points he promised, Trump said he would put an end to the Russo-Ukrainian War after being reelected. He also stated that he would wipe out the Mexican drug cartels on the southern border “just as we destroyed the ISIS caliphate.”

In addition, he said he would “totally obliterate the Deep State” by using the Department of Justice to go after rogue left-wing prosecutors, a policy proposal previously reported by the DC Enquirer.

Trump also called upon the GOP megadonors who attended the event to back him for the nomination in 2024 and to embrace early voting and mail-in ballots to win swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin.

As President Trump continues to rack up endorsements, his poll numbers follow suit. The race for the Republican nomination seems to be over before it even began and Trump will likely move to the general election with ease.
