BREAKING: Trump Lands MAJOR Endorsement That Could Change Everything in 2024!
Donald Trump is shaking things up in a way most Republicans haven’t. The former president just landed another major endorsement, this time from the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the largest police union in the U.S., representing a whopping 378,000 officers!
In a massive show of support, Patrick Yoes, the National President of the FOP, said, “Public safety and border security will be important issues in the last months of this campaign. Our members carefully considered the positions of the candidates on the issues and there was no doubt—zero doubt—as to who they want as our President for the next four years: Donald J. Trump.”
The FOP’s endorsement process isn’t just your typical decision made by a few people behind closed doors. Nope. This union makes sure every member gets a say. “The FOP’s endorsement process is unique in that every member has the opportunity, through our 46 State Lodges, to make their choice known to the National Trustee,” the press release explained. And guess what? Trump easily cleared the two-thirds vote he needed to win their backing!
Yoes continued, “During his first term, President Trump made it clear he supported law enforcement and border security. In the summer of 2020, he stood with us when very few would. With his help, we defeated the ‘defund the police’ movement and, finally, we are seeing crime rates decrease. If we want to maintain these lower crime rates, we must re-elect Donald Trump.”
The FOP didn’t hold back about why Trump earned their trust again. “Though this election was highly unusual, the FOP considered the two 2024 presidential candidates’ records,” they said, adding that the Trump campaign had a personal meeting with the FOP, but Kamala Harris and Tim Walz didn’t even grant them a meeting!
It’s clear the FOP’s endorsement means big things. “The FOP is the number one voice of America’s law enforcement. We have a responsibility to our members, to the 700,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the United States, and to the communities they serve to do our part in determining the direction in which our country will head,” Yoes said.
This isn’t the first time the FOP has backed Trump. They endorsed him in both 2016 and 2020, and now they’re ready to help him win again. Yoes said, “He provided our nation with strong, effective leadership during his first term, and now that he is seeking election to a second term, we intend to help him win it.”
Trump’s recent endorsements have been rolling in from all sides, including from former Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as his former rival, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
With the backing of America’s largest police union, Trump is continuing to build momentum as he charges toward another presidential run. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning!
