KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump has officially made his endorsement for Missouri governor.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump endorsed all three Republican candidates in their campaigns for governor of Missouri. The three GOP candidates mentioned are Bill Eigel, Jay Ashcroft, and Mike Kehoe.
Trump’s statement reads:
“I love the State of Missouri for every reason in the book, including the fact that it is “loaded up” with truly GREAT people. I also like Endorsing Candidates for Office if I think they’re good, and usually there is a differentiation, usually a big one, where it is not that difficult to do. But Missouri has three great people running for Governor – Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe, and Bill Eigel. All have had excellent careers, and have been with me from the beginning. They are MAGA and America First all the way! I can’t hurt two of them by Endorsing one so, therefore, I’m going to Endorse, for Governor of the Great State of Missouri, Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe, and Bill Eigel. Choose any one of them – You can’t go wrong!”
Eigel released a statement following the endorsement saying, “Grateful for the kind words and endorsement, President Trump! As Governor, I will deport every illegal in the state, eliminate personal property tax, and secure our elections. Let’s Go Missouri!”
Ashcroft also made a post on X reacting to the endorsement saying, “Let’s engineer a better Missouri!”
Similarly, Kehoe did the same, responding with a video on X:
