Mike Lee Wades Into Presidential Race With Endorsement

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) endorsed former President Donald Trump Friday night, saying that the 2024 presidential race was a “binary choice” — just several days before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus.

“The American people have a choice to make. In this circumstance, they have a rare, historically unusual chance to choose between two presidents,” Lee said in an interview with Laura Ingraham. “They have a chance to choose between order and lawlessness. They have an opportunity to choose between putting America first or America last.”

“And so, whether you agree with him on every point or not, if you are not content with the status quo, the status quo of lawlessness, of putting America last, it’s time to get behind Donald Trump,” he said. “And I wholeheartedly endorse Donald J. Trump in his bid for the presidency in 2024.”

Lee boosted a video of his interview and said, “Whether you like Trump or not, Americans face a binary choice,” adding: “I choose Trump.”
