Lance Gooden (R-Texas) on Tuesday joined the growing list of Republicans endorsing former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election after a positive meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lancegooden\/status\/1648448172845568002?s=20\">statement<\/a> issued on Tuesday, the House Republican from Texas emphasized his belief that Trump\u2019s proven track record and commitment to putting America first make him the best candidate for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met with Governor DeSantis, and while he has done commendable work in Florida, there is no doubt in my mind that President Trump is the only leader who can save America from the leftist onslaught we are currently facing,\u201d Gooden said.<\/p>\n<p>Gooden portrayed the former president as a \u201ctireless\u201d and persistent fighter who supports American jobs and the economy, and stands up against illegal immigration. Gooden also highlighted Trump\u2019s support for the military and veterans, as well as his opposition to the \u201cdangerous socialist agenda\u201d promoted by the radical left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wholeheartedly endorse President Donald J. Trump for the 2024 presidential election and vow to fight alongside him to reclaim our country from the leftist forces that threaten to destroy it,\u201d Gooden said. \u201cTogether, we will ensure a prosperous and secure future for our great nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Republicans Endorsing Trump<\/h2>\n<p>Gooden joins a growing list of House Republicans backing the former president for the Republican nomination, including seven members from Florida who\u2019ve backed Trump over DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Republican Reps. Greg Stuebe, John Rutherford, and Brian Mast joined\u00a0Cory Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds, and Matt Gaetz, who already endorsed Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Steube told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/florida-rep-greg-steube-endorses-trump-for-president_5202515.html\">Newsmax<\/a> on April 17 that Trump is \u201cthe only person that can reverse on day one all these disastrous policies of the Biden administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to right all the wrongs that have happened under this administration, fix the things that happen in Afghanistan, support our military and our veterans, and do the things that the America First agenda stands for, and that is one person, Donald Trump,\u201d Steube said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m honored to add my endorsement to the long list of endorsements for President Trump,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Donalds, who publicly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/florida-rep-byron-donalds-endorses-trump-for-historic-2024-election_5178528.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed<\/a>\u00a0Trump earlier this month,\u00a0declared him the only leader who can get America \u201cback on track\u201d and provide the strength and resolve to \u201cmake America great again.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Other Endorsements<\/h2>\n<p>Trump has received more than 39 endorsements from House Republicans, the most of any declared candidates, according to Ballotpedia.<\/p>\n<p>He also gained the support of seven senators and one governor, Henry McMaster of South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>On April 13, Trump picked up his seventh Senate endorsement from\u00a0Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.).\u00a0Budd said America was stronger and safer under Trump but, in contrast, had become \u201ca nation in decline\u201d under President Joe Biden. This echoed Trump\u2019s remarks in November when he announced his candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I endorse Donald J. Trump for President,\u201d Budd said. \u201cHardworking, everyday fami<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
