President Donald Trump has announced that he is endorsing Michigan Senate candidate John James. James is a war veteran and businessman running to take on Senator Debbie Stabenow in November.
According to Fox News:
President Donald Trump on Friday endorsed John James in Michigan’s Republican primary for U.S. Senate, calling him a “spectacular” candidate with “such great potential.”
The 37-year-old African-American business executive and Iraq War helicopter pilot is running against detergent manufacturer Sandy Pensler in the Aug. 7 contest. The winner will advance to face third-term Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in November.
Trump, who narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton in Michigan in 2016, tweeted that James — a political newcomer — is “SPECTACULAR. Rarely have I seen a candidate with such great potential.” He added that James is “strong on crime and borders, loves our Military, our Vets and our Second Amendment. He will be a star.”
Trump’s endorsement gave a big boost to James 10 days before the primary.
James has announced his support for President Trump and his agenda. He takes on businessman Sandy Pensler in the August primary.
