Trump Endorses Rep. Rob Wittman, Praises His “Tireless” Work on America First Agenda

Former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Congressman Rob Wittman (R-VA) for re-election, calling him “a truly fantastic” representative of Virginia’s 1st Congressional District and a steadfast advocate for his America First agenda.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump applauded Wittman’s leadership as Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, praising his “wisdom and courage” in defending the country and supporting the U.S. military. “Rob Wittman is doing a truly fantastic job representing the wonderful people of Virginia’s 1st Congressional District,” Trump wrote. “He is working tirelessly to advance our America First Agenda.”

Trump went on to list Wittman’s achievements, citing his focus on national defense, veterans’ support, and border security. He credited Wittman with helping to “grow our economy, cut taxes and regulations, promote ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ manufacturing, and advance American energy dominance.”

The former president also emphasized Wittman’s stance on public safety and constitutional rights, writing, “He will keep our now very secure border secure, stop migrant crime, and protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”

“Rob Wittman has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — he will never let you down!” Trump concluded, using the familiar phrasing he often reserves for loyal allies in Congress.

Wittman, who has represented Virginia’s 1st District since 2007, has built a reputation for his advocacy on defense and military affairs, particularly for service members stationed in and around the Hampton Roads region. His tenure on the Armed Services Committee has made him a key player in shaping U.S. military policy — a role that aligns closely with Trump’s “peace through strength” doctrine.

In a response posted to X (formerly Twitter), Wittman expressed gratitude for the endorsement, saying he was “honored to have President Trump’s support” as he continues to “fight for America’s security, economic growth, and freedom.”

Political analysts say Trump’s endorsement could significantly boost Wittman’s visibility among Republican voters ahead of the 2025 congressional elections. The move also underscores Trump’s continued influence within the GOP, as he seeks to strengthen alliances with lawmakers who share his priorities on defense, energy independence, and economic expansion.

With Trump expected to play a major role in shaping the Republican ticket, Wittman’s endorsement highlights the enduring power of the former president’s political brand — and the growing importance of loyalty to his America First message.
