PEORIA, Ill. – Republican Congressman Darrin LaHood, who now represents Illinois’ 16th District, officially announced on Saturday that he has endorsed Donald Trump in the Republican primary for President.
“Under President Joe Biden, the economy is worse, as 40-year high inflation and the cost of everyday goods harm working families, our adversaries – Iran, China, and Russia – have been emboldened by weak leadership, the southern border is an unmitigated disaster, and Democrat soft-on-crime policies are incentivizing violent criminals in big cities like Chicago. By every measure, our country was better off with President Trump’s leadership in the White House, and it’s time for the Republican Party to unite behind him as we enter 2024.
“Throughout the Republican Primary, I have kept an open mind and listened to the other candidates. While I have a great deal of respect for those who have put their names forward in the Republican Primary, President Trump is the clear frontrunner and I believe he can beat Joe Biden in 2024.
“In President Trump’s first term, Illinois families paid less at the pump and grocery store, small businesses flourished, the world was a safer place, and our enemies feared us. President Biden has eroded all of the gains our country made during the previous administration, and I believe President Trump is the only candidate who can hit the ground running on day one and restore a prosperous America. That’s why I am proud to endorse President Trump in the 2024 Republican Primary.”
