President Donald Trump gave an unsolicited endorsement to Yesli Vega, prompting now a response from her campaign.
Trump urged voters to elect Vega, a Republican from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, to Virginia's 7th Congressional District. Trump posted the endorsement onto his Truth social media platform and called her a "strong Republican voice against violent crime and all other things destroying our nation. He also wrote, "Vega is a warrior for America First," and tied to Spanberger to voting to support President Biden's agenda 100% of the time, despite campaigning as a moderate.
