Trump called Rounds an \u201cincredibly strong advocate for the wonderful people of South Dakota\u201d who has earned the president\u2019s complete and total endorsement. Trump went on to praise him as an \u201cAmerica First Patriot\u201d who will champion signature MAGA policies like ensuring American energy dominance, supporting the military, and securing the border.<\/p>\n

While Trump emphatically endorsed Rounds in his recent Truth Social post, the president did not mince words back in 2022 after the South Dakota senator stated the 2020 election was \u201cfair.\u201d (RELATED: Trump Endorses Against GOP Congresswoman Who Defied Him On Epstein Files)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only reason he did this is because he got my endorsement and easily won his state in 2020, so now he thinks he has time, and those are the only ones, the weak, who will break away,\u201d Trump said in a 2022 statement. \u201cEven though his election will not be coming up for 5 years, I will never endorse this jerk again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Radical Left Democrats and RINOS, like \u2018Senator\u2019 Mike Rounds, do not make it easy for our Country to succeed,\u201d Trump added. \u201cHe is a weak and ineffective leader, and I hereby firmly pledge that he will never receive my Endorsement again!\u201d (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Trump Weighing Pulling GOP Endorsement Amid Sexual Misconduct Scandal)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rounds thanked Trump for his 11th hour endorsement, urging voters to cast their ballots in favor of the Republican incumbent on Tuesday. Rounds is facing off against Navy veteran and businessman Justin McNeal in the Republican primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Mr. President for your endorsement and trust,\u201d Rounds said in a post on X. \u201cI\u2019m proud to be working with you to make America and South Dakota great again! You are right, I will not let the people of South Dakota down!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump previously endorsed Rounds in July in a Truth Social post, asserting Rounds would \u201cNEVER\u201d let the people of South Dakota down.<\/p>\n
