Trump has re-entered the Alabama primary, this time endorsing senate candidate Katie Britt after he previously unendorsed her election run-off opponent Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL).<\/p>\n<p>In late May, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/alabama-gop-senate-hopefuls-katie-britt-mo-brooks-head-to-run-off-election\">reported<\/a> that Britt received the most votes in the state\u2019s GOP primary, but failed to secure more than 50% support on election night. She will now face Brooks, who placed second in the election, in a primary runoff on June 21. Britt, outgoing Alabama GOP Senator Richard Shelby\u2019s former chief of staff, secured 44.76% of the vote, <a href=\"https:\/\/results.decisiondeskhq.com\/may24-2022-elections\">according<\/a> to Decision Desk HQ, while Brooks received 29.16%.<\/p>\n<p>Friday evening, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/06\/10\/trump-endorses-britt-in-alabama-republican-senate-race-00038991\">released<\/a> a statement saying, \u201cMo has been wanting it back ever since,\u201d in reference to his rescinded endorsement, \u201cbut I cannot give it to him!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKatie Britt, on the other hand, is a fearless America First Warrior,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Trump pulled his support for Brooks after the congressman said it was time to move on from focusing on the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I endorsed Mo Brooks, he took a 44-point lead and was unstoppable. He then hired a new campaign staff who \u2018brilliantly\u2019 convinced him to \u2018stop talking about the 2020 Election,\u2019\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alreporter.com\/2022\/03\/23\/trump-pulls-mo-brooks-endorsement-calling-him-woke\/\">said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery sad but, since he decided to go in another direction, so have I, and I am hereby withdrawing my Endorsement of Mo Brooks for the Senate,\u201d he continued. \u201cI don\u2019t think the great people of Alabama will disagree with me. Election Fraud must be captured and stopped, or we won\u2019t have a Country anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Britt meanwhile has been positioning herself to voters as a steadfast supporter of Trump\u2019s America First agenda, who will also bring something new to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are relentlessly visiting with voters across this great state,\u201d Britt <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowhammernews.com\/fmr-trump-adviser-steve-cortes-economic-populist-katie-britt-is-next-generation-of-america-first\/\">told<\/a> Yellowhammer News this past week. \u201cIt is clear that people want new blood, they want fresh blood. They want someone to go to D.C. to shake it up \u2014 somebody that will fight for our values and fight for our people. And so there is no doubt that we are the best America First candidate and the person to go make those things happen. So we\u2019re excited to make this happen on June 21st and look forward to continuing to earn the votes of every Alabamian across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Trump adviser Steve Cortes also endorsed Britt and appeared with her on the campaign trail this past week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live nearby. I live just across the border in Tennessee, but if I did live in Alabama, I\u2019d be voting for Katie, and I\u2019ll tell you why,\u201d Cortes <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowhammernews.com\/fmr-trump-adviser-steve-cortes-economic-populist-katie-britt-is-next-generation-of-america-first\/\">told<\/a> Yellowhammer News. \u201cShe is really the dynamic, next generation of America First. And what I mean by that specifically is that she believes in sovereignty, she believes in cultural conservatism, she believes in populist economics for this country, and really placing America first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019ll also tell you, on the other hand, when I look at her opponent, when I look at Mo Brooks, I see someone who unfortunately has sold out all too often\u00a0to the Washington establishment,\u201d he added. \u201cSomebody who has, at times, [been] tired and predictable in his views, and to be specific, especially as it relates to his views and vote on Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Brooks blasted Trump\u2019s decision Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is weird: last time Donald Trump talked about Katie Britt, he said she was unqualified for the Senate,\u201d Brooks <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoBrooks\/status\/1535462541484335106?s=20&#038;t=G9S2NGb879qrXVZ1FTou6g\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cDonald Trump is the only man in American politics who could get conned by Mitch McConnell twice in an Alabama Senate race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just admit it: Trump endorses the wrong people sometimes,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoBrooks\/status\/1535462543468240902?s=20&#038;t=G9S2NGb879qrXVZ1FTou6g\">added<\/a>. \u201cHe endorsed Mitt Romney, he endorsed John McCain and now he\u2019s endorsed Katie Britt, who his own son, Don Jr. called \u2018Alabama\u2019s Liz Cheney.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlabama grassroots remember in 2017 when Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell got involved in a Senate primary in Alabama\u2014and we rejected them,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoBrooks\/status\/1535462774922432513?s=20&#038;t=G9S2NGb879qrXVZ1FTou6g\">concluded<\/a>. \u201cThe people of Alabama will decide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald J.
