WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump endorsed Congressman Paul Gosar for re-election in Arizona on [truthsocial] on July 10, 2026 at 2:51 PM ET.

Here is the full post on [truthsocial]: “Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S., is an America First Patriot, who is doing a fantastic job representing Arizona’s 9th Congressional District! A MAGA Warrior, who has been with us from the very beginning, Paul is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Dr. Paul Gosar has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”, on Truth Social on July 10, 2026 at 2:51 PM ET.

Trump described Gosar, a dentist who represents Arizona’s 9th Congressional District, as a longtime ally who has stood with the movement from its start. He tied the endorsement to priorities that included cutting taxes, promoting domestic manufacturing, expanding American energy, securing the border, and defending the Second Amendment.

The post frames Gosar as a partner on Trump’s core agenda. Trump called Gosar a “MAGA Warrior” and pledged his “Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election,” adding that the congressman “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.” The endorsement fits a broader pattern of Trump using his platform to shape primary and general-election contests. In the last 30 days, 90 of 495 Trump posts addressed the topic “Elections,” a Zenger analysis found.

Presidential endorsements have long carried weight in congressional races, as happened before. Trump intervened in Republican primaries throughout his first term and beyond, backing challengers and incumbents alike to reward loyalty on his agenda. Candidates who won his support often leaned on it to consolidate the party base ahead of election day. In many contested primaries, that backing proved decisive for the endorsed candidate.
