Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement
Former President Donald Trump, no stranger to attacking political rivals with derisive nicknames, thanked former Republican presidential candidate Perry Johnson for his endorsement in the 2024 primary race this week.
Johnson ended his long-shot campaign on Friday in a lengthy statement in which he cited “corruption among leaders at the RNC” as “appalling.” The Michigan businessman often polled at 0%, didn’t qualify for the first two GOP primary debates, and was not on track to meet the qualifications for next month’s debate in Miami.
Yet on Monday, Johnson announced he was endorsing Trump, claiming, “There is now only one candidate in this race who can provide a solution to our nation’s economic, foreign policy and social crises, and most importantly, beat Joe Biden at the ballot box.”
Johnson also referenced his support of Trump’s first two presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 in his endorsement. “During President Trump’s first term, our nation saw historic peace agreements, no new wars, an economic revival, and forged a new path forward away from corrupt, establishment career politicians,” Johnson said. “I supported President Trump in 2016 and 2020, and am proud to offer him my full endorsement once again as he seeks the Republican nomination for President in 2024.” (Read more from “Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement” HERE)
