On Saturday, Rep. Michelle Steel in California's 45th Congressional District was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, who described her as one of the country's "strongest Congresswomen."

Michelle Steel has my complete and total endorsement - she will not let you down!

"Michelle, an America First Patriot with a family that bravely fled Communism, brings that same fighting spirit to Congress and will never back down against the Communists, Marxists, and Socialists on the Radical Left," Trump stated.

Michelle is a strong Congresswoman, while her opponent, Derek Tran, is a weak radical leftist who prioritizes the interests of Communist China over the safety and well-being of the country. Michelle, on the other hand, will always prioritize the interests of California and America first.
