Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Assemblymember Vince Fong in the special election to replace Kevin McCarthy in the U.S. House of Representatives. Fong, a longtime ally of McCarthy, is running for California's 20th Congressional District. This endorsement comes amid a growing number of local conservative officials, including Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, rallying around Fong's candidacy. Trump's endorsement highlights Fong's loyalty during his presidency, particularly noting Fong's opposition to the Second Impeachment Hoax as one of only 6 Republicans in the State Assembly. Meanwhile, some of Trump's former aides are supporting Fong's opponent in the race.
