U.S. House candidate Abraham Hamadeh posted his campaign’s first television ad on X, mentioning that he is “honored to be endorsed by President Trump.” Hamadeh added that “he can’t wait to join the fight with him in Washington to rescue the America we love.”
Hamadeh’s post indicates a growing success among candidates who embrace an America First philosophy.
Hamadeh announced his bid for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District shortly after Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., announced her retirement.
Hamadeh said in a separate post, “Our country is in desperate need of courageous fighters, and that’s why I’m proud to announce I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s 8th district.”
Hamadeh previously ran for Arizona Attorney General in 2022, losing to current Attorney General Kris Mayes by a margin of 300 votes. President Trump also endorsed Hamadeh when he ran for attorney general and has now endorsed him again for his congressional campaign.
Hamadeh’s candidacy has also been endorsed by U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, who lost a gubernatorial race to now-Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs. Lake posted on X that “AZ08 deserves a fighter and Abe is one of the toughest in Arizona.”
Lake and Hamadeh share a mutual respect based on their commitment to an America First philosophy re-popularized by President Trump.
It is worth noting President Trump has also endorsed Kari Lake in her campaign for the Arizona Senate seat. According to one recent January poll, Lake now leads by one percentage point.
In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump said, “When I’m back in the White House, I need strong fighters like Kari in the Senate. She is a fighter. She’s strong and she’s good.”
The 45th president added that if Lake wins in Arizona, Congress can pass America First legislation more easily.
