Former President Donald Trump endorsed businessman Tim Michels for governor on Thursday, calling him “the best candidate to deliver meaningful solutions” to inflation, election fraud, and immigration.” He also noted that Michels served on his infrastructure task force, which was responsible for helping plan the Keystone oil pipeline. Michels called the endorsement “a tremendous boost to our efforts and a continuation of our astounding surge since I entered the race.”
In response, former Lt. Governor and primary candidate Rebecca Kleefisch said that Trump “likes winners,” noting that she is the only candidate in the primary race who has won a statewide race. She had traveled to Florida to meet with Trump earlier this year to court Trump’s endorsement.
Michels also altered his existing ad on immigration to tout the endorsement, saying that he built Trump a “prototype” wall on the southern border.
