Brooks was endorsed by Trump prior to that election. He then lost Trump\u2019s support after saying that it was time to move on from the 2020 election. He placed second during Alabama\u2019s GOP primary election. Since neither candidate had 50% or more of the vote, the run-off election was held on Tuesday, June 21.<\/p>\n<p>While endorsing Britt, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/06\/10\/trump-endorses-britt-in-alabama-republican-senate-race-00038991\">released<\/a> a statement on Friday, June 10, saying, \u201cMo has been wanting it back ever since,\u201d in reference to his rescinded endorsement, \u201cbut I cannot give it to him!\u201d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>\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\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alreporter.com\/2022\/03\/23\/trump-pulls-mo-brooks-endorsement-calling-him-woke\/\">said<\/a> in March when he pulled his support from Brooks.<\/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\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yellowhammernews.com\/fmr-trump-adviser-steve-cortes-economic-populist-katie-britt-is-next-generation-of-america-first\/\">told<\/a> Yellowhammer News. \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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live nearby.
