Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that he has known and respected Hilton for years, calling him a “truly fine man.”
People are fleeing [California], crime is increasing, and Taxes are the highest of any State in the Country, maybe the World. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so! With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before! Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. He will be a GREAT Governor and, importantly, WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!” Trump wrote.
His endorsement has the potential to consolidate support for Hilton, which could help him move on past the June 2 primary, limiting the chances of two Republicans boxing out the crowded field of Democrats.
