Blake Moore, Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy in their respective primaries next week. The support is likely to boost the lawmakers, some of whom face primary challengers, as the president enjoys a near-perfect endorsement record so far in the 2026 midterm primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsements also come at a crucial time as the winners of the primary elections are likely to win the general election in November. <\/p>\n<p>The endorsements follow a pattern from the president to issue endorsements in quick succession in the days preceding a primary. But it comes at a crucial time for lawmakers such as Moore and Maloy who face opponents looking to unseat them. <\/p>\n<h3>Blake Moore<\/h3>\n<p>Trump praised Moore, who holds the fifth-highest leadership position in the House Republican caucus, offering his second endorsement in the last year. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Vice Chairman of the House Republican Conference, Blake is doing an incredible job advancing our America First Agenda,\u201d Trump wrote in his endorsement of Moore. \u201cHe is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military\/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>New: Trump has endorsed @RepBlakeMoore for reelection ahead of next week\u2019s primary<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously endorsed Moore, but he faces a tough primary challenge against @KariLisonbee who has targeted Moore over his previous involvement with Prop 4 (an anti-gerrymandering\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/2xQGF4FI6S<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cami Mondeaux (@cami_mondeaux) June 18, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump previously endorsed Moore in November, but the latest post comes as the three-term congressman faces a challenge from state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, who has targeted Moore over his past involvement with the anti-gerrymandering group Better Boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Lisonbee has accused Moore of being responsible for recent gerrymandering decisions granting Democrats a House seat in the 2026 elections.<\/p>\n<p>The race for Utah\u2019s newly redrawn 2nd District has since become one of the more contentious elections for the Beehive State. <\/p>\n<p>Moore has aggressively approached the campaign, especially when it comes to fundraising and earning the endorsements of top U.S. House Republican leaders such as Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Rep. Jim Jordan, the founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=2041\">7 things we learn about JD Vance in the vice president\u2019s new memoir about faith<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lisonbee has received endorsements from a majority of the members of the state House Republican caucus, where she served in leadership, including Speaker Mike Schultz. She was also endorsed by state Auditor Tina Cannon.<\/p>\n<h3>Celeste Maloy<\/h3>\n<p>Trump also threw his support behind Maloy, who is seeking her second full term in the House. Maloy has served in the House since November 2023, when she won a special election to succeed former Rep. Chris Stewart, who resigned from office early. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>.@RepMaloyUtah and @RepMikeKennedy also get Trump endorsements #utpol https:\/\/t.co\/pLPnTwgVTC pic.twitter.com\/Bqm9govNjH<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cami Mondeaux (@cami_mondeaux) June 18, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCeleste has a strong record of success, and resounding support from her Community,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cIn Congress, she is working hard to Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our incredible Military\/Veterans, Grow our Economy, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maloy faces a challenge from former state Rep. Phil Lyman, who has attacked the congresswoman as being a political insider. But Maloy has the financial advantage, outraising Lyman 10 to 1 over the past two months, with $256,000 still left to spend compared to Lyman\u2019s $7,700. <\/p>\n<p>Still, Maloy may still face a tough challenge to be reelected. Thanks to the state\u2019s new boundaries, the new district covers a lot of ground she had not previously represented \u2014 and Maloy barely eked out a primary win in 2024 after a recount. <\/p>\n<p>Lyman, on the other hand, has name recognition from his unsuccessful gubernatorial bid against Gov. Spencer Cox in 2024. Although he lost, Lyman did especially well in the areas covered by the new 3rd District, winning in 11 of 18 counties within the redrawn boundaries. <\/p>\n<h3>Mike Kennedy<\/h3>\n<p>Trump also threw his support behind freshman Rep. Mike Kennedy in his triple-post blast. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Proven Leader, Mike has served his family well as a Family Physician, Lawyer, and Highly Respected State Legislator, prior to becoming a distinguished Congressman,\u201d Trump wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Kennedy does not have a primary challenger, and he is likely to be reelected in November. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=2039\">Utah DNR rejects recommendation to ban cougar trapping on public lands<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The president sent out a blast of endorsements in Utah\u2019s upcoming primary elections, favoring Republican incumbents currently serving in the House. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
