Trump Endorses Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson for 2026 Reelection

President Donald Trump has given his "Complete and Total Endorsement" for Florida Agricultural Commissioner Wilton Simpson's reelection bid in 2026, praising him as a strong and highly popular America First patriot. Simpson, a fifth-generation Floridian, lifelong egg farmer, successful businessman, and former president of the Florida State Senate, was first elected in 2022 with nearly 60% of the vote. Trump highlighted Simpson's conservative priorities, including economic growth, cutting taxes and regulations, promoting American energy dominance, securing the border, and protecting the Second Amendment. This endorsement likely solidifies Simpson's decision to seek reelection and ends speculation about a gubernatorial run that could conflict with Trump's preferred candidate. Trump emphasized his own political success in Florida and commended Simpson for being an effective voice for Florida agriculture and its farmers and ranchers. The endorsement continues Trump's pattern of supporting statewide Republican incumbents early in the election cycle.
