Donald J.Trump endorses Amir Hassan for Michigan’s 8th Congressional District

The president backs a Navy veteran and federal law enforcement officer to represent the district, citing his record of service and conservative policy priorities.

MICHIGAN — Donald J.Trump gave his full endorsement to Amir Hassan for Michigan’s 8th Congressional District on a Truth Social post on June 22, 2026 at 2:07 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “It is my Great Honor to endorseAmir Hassan, who is running to represent the fantastic people of Michigan’s 8th Congressional District! From bravely fighting for our incredible U.S. Navy, to protecting his Community as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Amir has served our Nation with distinction, and will bring that same Fighting Spirit to the U.S. Congress. As your next Congressman, Amir will work hard to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Great Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Amir Hassan has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Michigan’s 8th Congressional District – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

Trump praised Hassan as a U.S. Navy veteran and former federal law enforcement officer who “served our Nation with distinction.” The endorsement positions Hassan as Trump’s preferred candidate in the race, giving him a significant boost in what is expected to be a competitive Republican primary.

The president outlined a broad conservative platform he expects Hassan to champion in Congress. That agenda includes economic growth, tax and regulation cuts, domestic energy production, border security, military and veterans support, and Second Amendment protections. Trump closed the endorsement with his signature phrase, declaring Hassan “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.”

Trump’s endorsement of Hassan reflects his continued grip on Republican primary politics heading into the 2026 midterm cycle. Presidential endorsements in competitive House races can reshape fundraising, volunteer mobilization, and voter turnout during primary contests. Hassan now enters the field with a powerful political tailwind in a district where Trump’s backing could prove decisive.

In the last 30 days, 4 of 628 Trump posts focused on elections and domestic politics, with all 4 centered on candidate endorsements for the 2024 or 2026 cycles. The low volume suggests Trump has been selective in deploying his endorsement power during this period.
