Former President Donald Trump endorsed Michigan GOP candidate Matt DePerno ahead of a state convention where delegates will select the next chairman of the state’s Republican Party. In a teleconference rally, Trump said he has “complete and total confidence” in DePerno, who hopes to win the job that could bring sway over the coming race for the presidential nomination.
DePerno introduced Trump as “the greatest president we have ever had” and the “leader of the Republican Party.” Trump said of the 2024 race, “Michigan will be a key battleground center for the action…Victory in Michigan will be the difference in winning the election or not.”
