President Donald Trump (R) has officially endorsed Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones (R) for Georgia Governor in 2026. The President is highly invested in the state of Georgia and has placed his trust in someone he considers to be strong, reliable, and courageous. 

The endorsement comes alongside a lengthy statement from the President on Truth Social, calling Lt. Gov. Jones ‘very popular’ and ‘highly respected.’

He also praised Jones for working tirelessly in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, and complimented him for his toughness and endurance, exemplified by his time spent as a businessman, SEC football player, and Lieutenant Governor.  

The statement continued with President Trump listing everything that Jones has committed to do as Governor. He stated, “As your next Governor, Burt Jones will fight hard to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Continue to Secure our now Secure Southern Border, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Advance Election Integrity, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.”

Jones thanked Trump for the endorsement and celebrated it on X with a few statements. First, he stated, “We’re fighting for election integrity, lower taxes, and to secure Georgia values — and with Trump’s support, we’re just getting started.”

Following this, Jones advertised his campaign website where people can sign up and volunteer. He commented, “President Trump’s support sends a message: Georgians want strong, conservative leadership. But winning this race will take a team effort... it’s going to take YOU! Will you join the team today?”

The endorsement has boosted the confidence of the Jones campaign because it earns candidates the trust of voters aligned with TrumpFor example, the current frontrunner of the Florida Governor’s race is Rep. Byron Donalds (R), due to his record as a congressman and his endorsement from the President. 

Jones reaffirmed this, stating, “This endorsement means so much, not just because (President Donald Trump) is my friend and a true leader, but because it shows our Georgia First movement is gaining momentum.”
