Trump praises Carlos Giménez before Florida vote
The president backed the Republican congressman's continuation in District 28 and highlighted his Miami-Dade experience before Congress.
Donald Trump endorsed Carlos Giménez's reelection campaign as the Republican congressman seeks to retain Florida's 28th District seat. The president posted his support on Truth Social days before the November 3 election. The message addressed Giménez's district race and expressed Trump's support for his continuation in office.
Trump praised Giménez's work as district representative and highlighted his career before Congress. He mentioned service as a firefighter, civic leader and Miami-Dade County mayor. Those positions accompanied praise of his legislative work and formed part of Trump's case for supporting the candidacy.
The municipal career cited by Trump places part of Giménez's experience in Miami-Dade before he entered Congress. The president also referred to the lawmaker's community service and current representative work. The message combined those elements to present the endorsement as an assessment of both public career and performance in office.
Financially, Giménez had raised about $722,000 and had roughly $541,000 available. His opponent, identified as Ehr, had raised $508,000. The amounts show two different figures for Giménez—the total raised and cash available—and compare campaign resources before voting.
Giménez, identified in the race as a Cuban American congressman, is seeking another Florida term. Trump's endorsement came in the days before the election and focused on that candidacy. The November 3 vote concerns the District 28 seat, while presidential support did not anticipate the result.
