This is a big boost…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former President Donald Trump has chosen to throw his support behind ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u2019s chosen successor for his empty seat in Congress, Vince Fong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fong, a California Assembly member who worked as McCarthy\u2019s district director for almost a decade, is one of nine candidates running to replace him in Central Valley for his House seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News has more<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I am proud to join California\u2019s Republican Congressional Delegation, and give Vince Fong my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Vince was one of only 6 Republicans in the State Assembly to stand with me, and reject the Second Impeachment Hoax. In Congress, Vince will work with me to Grow the Economy, Lower your Taxes, Cut Burdensome Regulations, Champion American Energy, and Protect and Defend the Second Amendment, which is under siege by the Radical Left.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endorsing Boudreaux last month, Grenell and Patel described him as the anti-establishment, America First choice.\u00a0“Sheriff Mike Boudreaux is an America First patriot who has proven he is a principled fighter for freedom,” Grenell said, The Porterville Recorder reported at the time. “California needs leaders with courage to stand up to Washington bureaucrats. His record proves he is the right choice for the Valley.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patel said,\u00a0“Sheriff Boudreaux is the kind of leader we need in Congress, one with the courage to stand up and fight, not back down, and put American first,” The Recorder reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s endorsement of Fong is likely to give him a boost with voters who may have been wary over his years-long ties to the GOP establishment. Fong wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, soon after the former president\u2019s announcement, “Thank you\u2026 for your endorsement! Let\u2019s get to work to secure the border, improve our economy, and defend our water and energy resources!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
