美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一背书正在密歇根州参选州长的联邦众议员约翰·詹姆斯。
“我非常荣幸地背书‘美国优先’议员约翰·詹姆斯，他将竞选成为美丽的密歇根州下一任州长！”特朗普在Truth Social的帖文中如此说道，“约翰·詹姆斯获得我全部、绝对的背书，成为密歇根下一任州长——他绝不会让你们失望！”
詹姆斯在社交媒体帖文中感谢特朗普，称他是“我有生之年最伟大的总统”。

特朗普周一发布背书消息后，密歇根州参议院少数党领袖阿里克·内斯比特退出密歇根共和党州长初选，并背书詹姆斯。
“这场竞选始终是为了密歇根州人民，为了站在特朗普总统身边，在11月击败民主党人。今天，我暂停我的竞选活动，并自豪地加入特朗普总统的行列，背书约翰·詹姆斯成为密歇根下一任州长，”内斯比特在社交媒体帖文中说道，“分裂的初选只会帮助民主党人。现在是团结起来的时候了。我呼吁每一位支持我竞选的人与我一起站在约翰·詹姆斯身后，撸起袖子加油干，在11月赢得共和党胜利。”
詹姆斯对内斯比特的举动作出回应，在X平台的帖文中部分表示：“当特朗普总统背书这场竞选时，阿里克·内斯比特做了一名真正的密歇根保守派应该做的事：他团结在总统身后，践行我们将密歇根从摧毁我们共和国的自由派和共和党叛徒手中拯救出来的使命！”

同样参选密歇根州共和党州长初选的商人佩里·约翰逊认为，总统背书詹姆斯是错误的决定。
“特朗普总统又一次收到了糟糕的建议。约翰·詹姆斯两次全州竞选都失败了，密歇根州已经看过这部戏了：特朗普背书的全州候选人，比如约翰·詹姆斯、都铎·迪克森、马特·德佩尔诺和克里斯蒂娜·卡拉莫，在最关键的时刻都未能成功，”约翰逊在社交媒体帖文中说道。

同样参选的密歇根州前总检察长迈克·考克斯在X平台的帖文中表示：“和美国总统一样，我通过组建一个厌倦了精英阶层压榨的密歇根工薪阶层联盟，两次赢得密歇根州的支持。我很自豪在特朗普最近的三次选举中都为他投了票，捐款数千美元支持他的竞选活动，并且在2024年受雇担任他在密歇根州的选举诚信律师。我期待着在我获胜后，成为特朗普总统最心仪的州长。”

President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed U.S. Rep. John James, who is running for governor in Michigan.
“It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Congressman, John James, who is running to become the next Governor of the Beautiful State of Michigan!” the president declared in part of a Truth Social post. “John James has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of Michigan — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”
James thanked Trump, calling him “The greatest President of my lifetime” in social media posts.

After Trump issued the endorsement message on Monday, Michigan state Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt dropped out of the Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary and endorsed James.
“This campaign has always been about the people of Michigan and standing with President Trump to defeat the Democrats in November. Today, I am suspending my campaign and proudly joining President Trump in endorsing John James as Michigan’s next Governor,” Nesbitt declared in social media posts. “A divided primary only helps Democrats. It’s time to unite. I’m asking every one of you who supported this campaign to stand with me behind John James, roll up our sleeves, and deliver a Republican victory in November.”
James responded to Nesbitt’s move, asserting in part of a post on X, “When President Trump endorsed this campaign, Aric Nesbitt did exactly what a true Michigan CONSERVATIVE should do: He united behind the President and our mission to Save Michigan from the Libs and the RINOs destroying our Republic!”

Businessman Perry Johnson, who is also running in the Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary, suggested that the president had made the wrong move by backing James.
“President Trump received bad advice yet again. John James is a two-time statewide loser, and Michigan has already seen this movie before: Trump-backed statewide candidates like John James, Tudor Dixon, Matt DePerno, and Kristina Karamo all came up short when it mattered most,” Johnson asserted in social media posts.

Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, who is also running, asserted in a post on X, “Like @POTUS, I’ve won Michigan twice by building a coalition of working Michiganders who are sick of being screwed by the elites. I’m proud to have voted for President Trump in each of his last three elections, to have donated thousands of dollars to support his campaigns, and to have been hired to represent him as his election integrity lawyer in Michigan in 2024. I look forward to being President Trump’s favorite Governor when I win.”
