What Do We Know About Trump\u2019s Endorsement Of Hassan?<\/h2>\n

In the past few months, Trump has made three posts on Truth Social touting his endorsement of Hassan and pointing out his earlier service in the U.S. Navy and as a Federal law enforcement officer. The most recent such post<\/u> was made on Monday, when the president wrote: \u201cAmir Hassan has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Michigan\u2019s 8th Congressional District.\u201d The post attacked the incumbent Democratic lawmaker, Rivet, saying she \u201cvoted against NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if she and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things would be terminated.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Do We Know About Thomas Smith Dropping Out?<\/h2>\n

According to Detroit News, Smith dropped out of the contest in mid-July, but his name remained on the ballot. After dropping out, Smith had endorsed rival Al Lemmo and even appeared in a Facebook video wearing a Lemmo for Congress hat. With nearly all votes counted, Lemmo has only managed to secure 16.4% of the votes, placing a distant third behind the two other candidates.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/h2>\n

Trump has not yet commented on Hassan\u2019s loss, as most of his Truth Social posts on Tuesday evening were focused on endorsees who won their races. In June, Trump made a rare acknowledgment<\/u> after the loss of his preferred candidate, Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, in the state\u2019s gubernatorial runoff. The president, however, appeared to take credit for billionaire Rick Jackson\u2019s surprise win by claiming he \u201cvery successfully campaigned on being \u2018TRUMP,\u2019 and won.\u201d Reiterating this in a follow-up post, the president wrote: \u201cRick Jackson ran a great TRUMP Campaign. Very smart!\u201d<\/p>\n
