Former President Donald Trump put out a video in support of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt Monday, just two weeks before a U.S. Senate election where Schmitt is considered a heavy favorite.
The video marked Trump’s first outright endorsement of Schmitt. In the contentious Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Trump put out a statement on the eve of Election Day saying that he endorsed “Eric” for U.S. Senate, effectively splitting his endorsement between Schmitt and former Gov. Eric Greitens.
Trump started the video supporting Schmitt by introducing himself as “your favorite president of all time, more so than Washington or Lincoln or anyone... At least I hope that’s so.”
