Trump endorsed Brooks almost a year ago, in April 2021.
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday pulled his endorsement from Alabama Republican Senate candidate Mo Brooks, who has struggled in recent polling. Trump endorsed Brooks in April 2021, when Brooks had a substantial double-digit lead in the polls. In that announcement, Trump called Brooks, who is currently a Republican congressman, a «great Conservative Republican leader, who will stand up for America First» and said the congressman was » fighting for voter integrity (like few others).» In the statement revoking his endorsement, Trump said that Brooks had «made a horrible mistake recently when he went ‘woke'» when he told people to put the 2020 election «behind you» during a rally last August in Alabama. «Since he decided to go in another direction, so have I, and I am hereby withdrawing my Endorsement of Mo Brooks for the Senate,» Trump said in a statement. «I don’t think the great people of Alabama will disagree with me. Election Fraud must be captured and stopped, or we won’t have a Country anymore.
