MICHIGAN — Donald J.Trump gave his complete endorsement to Mike Bouchard for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District in a Truth Social post on June 22, 2026 at 2:09 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, “Captain” Mike Bouchard, who is running to represent the wonderful people of Michigan’s 10th Congressional District! A Third Generation Michigander, Brave U.S. Army Veteran, and Bronze Star Recipient, Mike has served his State and Nation with distinction, and will bring that same Fighting Spirit to the U.S. Congress. As your next Congressman, Mike will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our incredible Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Mike Bouchard has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Michigan’s 10th Congressional District – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

Trump described Bouchard as a third-generation Michigander, a U.S. Army veteran, and a Bronze Star recipient. The endorsement praised Bouchard for serving his state and nation “with distinction” and predicted he would bring “that same Fighting Spirit” to Congress.

The policy priorities Trump outlined for Bouchard span a wide range of conservative goals. They include growing the economy, cutting taxes and regulations, promoting domestic manufacturing, unleashing American energy production, securing the border, stopping migrant crime, strengthening the military and veterans’ services, advancing election integrity, and defending the Second Amendment.

Trump’s endorsement carries significant weight in Republican primary races, where his backing has reshaped candidate fields across the country (see truthsocial). The endorsement of Bouchard signals Trump’s continued effort to place allies aligned with his agenda in congressional seats ahead of future legislative battles.

The endorsement marks a relatively rare focus on elections within Trump’s recent social media activity. In the last 30 days, 5 of 629 Trump posts addressed the topic of elections and domestic politics, and all 5 concerned candidate endorsements for 2024 or 2026 races.

Michigan’s 10th Congressional District covers portions of the state that have drawn competitive races in recent cycles. Bouchard’s military credentials and Trump’s full-throated support could give him a decisive advantage in the Republican primary as the race takes shape.
