Utah Senator Mike Lee has officially endorsed former President Donald Trump, characterizing the upcoming presidential race as a “binary choice” during an appearance on Fox News’ Ingraham Angle. Lee, one of at least 21 Republican senators backing Trump, highlighted the need for order over chaos and putting America first.
Emphasizing the “Binary Choice” for America
Lee stressed the importance of the upcoming election, stating, “Whether you like Trump or not, Americans face a binary choice.” He underscored concerns about President Biden’s approach, citing issues such as border enforcement, the prosecution of political opponents, and policies that impact the affordability of life for hardworking Americans.
Reiterating Support for Trump in 2022
This isn’t the first time Senator Lee has endorsed Trump. He also supported the former president in the 2020 election and received an endorsement from Trump during his 2022 reelection campaign. Despite initial differences in 2016 when Lee publicly expressed concerns about Trump and sought to block his nomination, the senator has since strengthened ties with the former president.
Growing Support for Trump in the Republican Party
Lee’s endorsement adds to the growing list of Republican senators supporting Trump, with at least 21 senators aligning with the former president. While GOP leaders in the House have largely backed Trump, Senate Republican leadership has, until recently, remained more reserved.
Looking Ahead to the Presidential Race
As the presidential race gains momentum, the endorsement from Senator Mike Lee signals a unified front among certain Republicans, emphasizing the pivotal choice facing Americans. The senator’s decision reflects a strategic alignment with Trump’s policies and a shared vision for the nation.
