United States President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis in his campaign for Congress. Patronis is running in Florida’s 1st Congressional District and received Trump’s backing through a post on Truth Social.

In his endorsement, Trump described Patronis as a loyal and committed public servant who shares his conservative vision for the country. Trump praised him for being a fourth-generation Floridian, a successful seafood restaurant owner, and someone deeply connected to the state and its people.

“Jimmy has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote. He encouraged Floridians to show strong support for Patronis in the Republican primary election scheduled for April 1.

Trump highlighted several reasons for his endorsement, including Patronis’ dedication to economic growth, tax cuts, border security, and strengthening the military. He also commended Patronis for standing firmly in defense of the Second Amendment and for his commitment to restoring American energy independence.

With Trump’s endorsement, Patronis gains a powerful ally in his congressional run, aligning himself closely with the current president’s conservative agenda. The endorsement is expected to boost Patronis’ visibility and momentum as he appeals to Republican voters ahead of the April 1 primary.
