In an exclusive interview with Digital, Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, has endorsed former President Donald Trump’s bid for the 2024 GOP nomination. Cotton expressed his excitement about working with Trump to win back the White House and the Senate, as well as getting the country “back on track.”
Cotton highlighted the stark contrast between the Trump and Biden administrations, stating that America was safe, strong, and prosperous under Trump, while everything has gone downhill with Biden in power. He pointed out that families are struggling to afford groceries, the border is facing a full-blown invasion, and enemies are starting wars everywhere.
“I endorse President Trump and I look forward to working with him to win back the White House and the Senate so we can help hardworking Arkansans suffering from Joe Biden’s disastrous policies,” Cotton stated. He emphasized the need to get the country back on track.
Cotton’s endorsement is significant as he and Trump had previously collaborated on immigration policy and securing the border during the Trump administration. In 2017, they championed the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy (RAISE) Act, which aimed to overhaul legal immigration in the United States by prioritizing immigrants based on their skills while protecting American workers’ jobs. Although the bill did not pass, it received attention through a high-profile ceremony at the White House.
A source close to Cotton revealed that the senator hopes to work with Trump on immigration reform in a possible second term. This collaboration demonstrates the alignment of their priorities and the potential for future cooperation.
Cotton’s endorsement adds to the growing list of GOP senators rallying around Trump as the 2024 Republican front-runner. Among those who have endorsed Trump are Senators JD Vance of Ohio, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Rick Scott of Florida, Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt of Missouri, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
It is worth noting that Cotton’s endorsement comes amidst a divided political landscape, with Republicans showing support for Trump’s leadership while Democrats criticize his policies. The article reflects the ongoing political polarization in the United States.
