Donald Trump declared Harriet Hageman the winner of the Republican nomination for U.S. senator from Wyoming, crediting his own endorsement in a campaign-style graphic shared on Truth Social.

The graphic, styled with Trump-Vance branding, framed Hageman as the party’s Senate nominee and paired her image with Trump’s. It carried the slogan “Make America Great Again” and a red banner reading “Endorsed by President Trump.”

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR U.S. SENATOR FROM WYOMING HARRIET HAGEMAN WINS! ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP! TRUMP VANCE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” on August 18, 2026 at 11:17 PM ET.

This is Trump’s 37th message released today, and the last post was 50 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 182 of his 561 posts over the last 30 days classified as Elections posts.

The promotional image showed two figures side by side. The left figure resembled Trump in a dark suit and blue tie. The right figure showed a woman with short dark hair, round glasses and turquoise jewelry, set against a red-to-blue gradient background framed by a white border.

Trump used the post to tie the electoral outcome directly to his endorsement, presenting the result as a validation of his backing. The graphic carried no additional detail on vote totals, the timing of the contest, or the general-election matchup.
