Former President Donald Trump is tossing his support behind former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in her run for Arkansas governor.
Trump called Sanders a āwarrior who will always fight for the people of Arkansas and do what is right, not what is politically correct,ā in a statement on Monday.
He added, āSarah is strong on Borders, tough on Crime, and fully supports the Second Amendment and our great law enforcement officers. She loves our Military and Veterans ā and her home state of Arkansas.ā
Trump continued:
āSarah will be a GREAT Governor, and she has my Complete and Total Endorsement!ā
āMy opponents will do everything in their power to destroy me, but I will not apologize for who I am, for who Iām fighting for. Iām fighting for you. I will not retreat, I will not surrender and I will not bow down to the radical left,ā Sanders said in a video announcement Monday.

Sandersā father, Mike Huckabee, who is a former Governor of Arkansas, weighed in on the announcement, tweeting, āSheās running to be 1st woman Governor of AR. But itās not about her gender, but a lifetime of preparation. Sheās smart compassionate, but fearless for whatās right.ā
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also expressed his support for the former White House press secretary, writing on Twitter, āTake it from a Kansan ā she will do Arkansans a good turn!ā
