WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump celebrated a victory by Congressman Andy Harris in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District on a Truth Social post on June 23, 2026 at 7:19 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “CONGRESSMAN (MD-01)Andy Harris WINS! ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP! TRUMP Vance MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The post featured a campaign-style graphic showing Trump alongside Harris, with bold text declaring the win and the presidential endorsement. The image carried Trump-Vance branding and the “Make America Great Again” slogan.

Andy Harris has represented Maryland’s 1st Congressional District since 2011, when he defeated incumbent Democrat Frank Kratovilin a rematch of their 2008 contest (see wikipedia.org). The district covers the entire Eastern Shore and several eastern exurbs of Baltimore County. Harris has been the sole Republican in Maryland’s congressional delegation since 2013 (see wikipedia.org).

Harris became chair of the House Freedom Caucus in September 2024, succeeding Bob Good(see wikipedia.org). A physician by training, Harris earned his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University and served as a commander in the Navy Medical Corps during Operation Desert Storm (see wikipedia.org). He first entered elected office through the Maryland State Senate in 1998 before winning his congressional seat.

Trump’s endorsement of Harris signals continued presidential influence in Republican primary and general election contests across the country. The endorsement aligns Harris with the broader Trump-Vanceticket and the conservative wing of the party (see ballotpedia.org).

Trump has posted 125 messages on the topic of elections out of 643 total Truth Social posts in the last 30 days, underscoring his sustained focus on electoral contests and candidate endorsements during this period.
