Trump Endorses Republican Who Backstabbed Him

This proves that President Trump doesn’t hold a grudge.

President Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday with a bold message to conservative voters: he’s backing a slate of trusted Republican lawmakers for re-election. In a series of direct endorsements, Trump offered his full support to Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT), Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), and Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI).

These endorsements come at a pivotal time as the country looks ahead to the 2026 midterm elections—a moment that could decide whether the Republican Party retains control of the U.S. House during Trump’s powerful second term in the White House.

“America First” Allies: Who Trump Is Supporting and Why

In separate posts, Trump described each lawmaker as a vital ally in the fight to protect conservative values, secure America’s borders, and restore economic strength. These candidates, Trump said, are committed to the America First agenda and won’t back down from liberal pressure.

The move not only energizes Republican voters but also sends a clear message to the GOP establishment: Only proven conservatives deserve support in 2026.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino: Endorsed Despite Missed Vote

Rep. Andrew Garbarino’s endorsement stood out, as it came shortly after he missed a key House vote on the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The bill was a major legislative win for House Republicans and a direct victory for President Trump’s policy priorities.

According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Garbarino was on-site but failed to reach the floor in time—reportedly after dozing off during hours of closed-door negotiations.

Despite the stumble, Garbarino remained confident in his support for the bill:

“I helped lead negotiations that delivered major wins for Long Island families—especially by fighting to lift the SALT cap,” Garbarino said. “Although I narrowly missed the vote, I look forward to voting ‘yes’ when the bill returns from the Senate.”

Speaker Johnson Praises Garbarino’s Role

House Speaker Mike Johnson wasn’t shy in praising Garbarino’s behind-the-scenes leadership:

“Rep. Garbarino played a critical role in delivering conservative victories through this legislation,” Johnson stated. “He’s one of our most trusted members and a driving force behind the success of this Congress.”

The Speaker added that Garbarino’s efforts were essential in locking down Republican support for the bill.

Conservative Momentum Builds for 2026

President Trump’s endorsements are more than just political gestures—they are strategic moves aimed at energizing the conservative base and ensuring that Republican victories in Congress continue. With Democrats ramping up their own efforts, Trump’s message is clear: only reliable America First conservatives can be trusted with the future of this nation.

Garbarino echoed that sentiment in a post of his own, thanking the President:

“Thank you, Mr. President. It’s an honor to serve NY-02 and to fight for our shared vision of a stronger, freer America.”

What to Expect as the 2026 Election Cycle Heats Up

With endorsements rolling out and key legislative wins piling up, the momentum is clearly on the side of President Trump and his House allies. The 2026 midterms will be a battle for the soul of Congress, and conservative voters now have a clearer picture of who is earning Trump’s trust—and why it matters.
