WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump endorsed Jennifer Balkcom for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District, calling her an “America First Patriot” and casting her Democratic opponent as a radical threat.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Jennifer Balkcom, who is running to represent the wonderful people of North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District! A Highly Respected State Representative, Small Business Owner, and Civic Leader, prior to running for Congress, Jennifer has dedicated her life to serving her Community. Her opponent, Jamie Agar, is a Radical Left Democrat who is opposed to NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if he and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things will be terminated. He wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. Jamie Agar is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Congresswoman, Jennifer will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Champion our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Keep our Border SECURE, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Jennifer Balkcom has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” on August 17, 2026 at 7:52 PM ET.
