President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed Brandon Herrera for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, days after the YouTuber became the district’s Republican nominee amid incumbent Rep. Tony Gonzales’ withdrawal from the race.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump applauded Herrera’s support for many of Republicans’ top campaign issues including school choice, border security and protecting “our always under siege Second Amendment.” Herrera, a gun rights activist, had criticized Gonzales for his vote on a bipartisan gun safety bill in the wake of the 2022 school massacre in Uvalde, which is in the district.
