Former President Trump pulled his U.S. Senate endorsement of Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., describing him as “woke” and slamming the candidate for telling voters to look past Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
“When I endorsed Mo Brooks, he took a 44-point lead and was unstoppable. He then hired a new campaign staff who ‘brilliantly’ convinced him to ‘stop talking about the 2020 Election,’” Trump said in a statement on Wednesday. “He listened to them.”
Trump claimed that “according to the polls, Mo’s 44-point lead totally evaporated all based on his ‘2020’ statement made at our massive rally in Cullman, Alabama. When I heard his statement, I said, ‘Mo, you just blew the Election, and there’s nothing you can do about it.’” The former president said he has now “decided to go in another direction” — with plans to endorse another candidate “in the near future” — and rescinded his endorsement of Brooks, who has leaned heavily on his connection and backing from Trump. The Senate hopeful has proudly displayed Trump’s endorsement on campaign signs, calling himself “MAGA Mo,” and touted that he had Trump’s support by changingBrooks speaking at Trump's"Save America Rally" on Jan. 6. ahead of the Capitol riot.
