WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 2026 — President Donald Trump posted state-by-state endorsement lists on X on Monday afternoon, the day before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Between 2:33 and 3:45 p.m. Eastern, his @realDonaldTrump account published 42 posts, one per state, each with a graphic of the candidates he's backing.
Most of the posts used the same words. The Florida post, at 2:53 p.m., reads: "TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF FLORIDA, GET OUT AND VOTE for these Great Patriots! They have my Complete and Total Endorsement and will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP." Posts for Maryland, New Mexico and North Dakota each named a single congressional candidate instead: Rep. Andy Harris, Greg Cunningham and Rep. Julie Fedorchak.
