In an emailed press release, Marshall’s team shared excerpts from his statement of support for the 45th president ahead of its official release, which he begins by criticizing President Joe Biden’s Green New Deal agenda, which he sees as harming the American agriculture and energy industries.
“Since the day Joe Biden stepped foot in the Oval Office, this White House declared war on American agriculture and American energy independence in pursuit of their Green New Deal agenda and electric vehicle mandates,” Marshall said in the statement, adding that Biden “has also completely abandoned our Christian values and undermined our constitutional rights.”
Marshall contends that Americans “need an America-first leader back in the White House who fights for families in the Heartland and the values we live by.”
“While others May try to imitate him, only President Trump will put our country back on track on day one. It’s time for the GOP to unite behind President Trump. Let’s end the political primary charade and focus on retiring Joe Biden,” he added.

Marshall marks the 13th U.S. senator to back Trump in his bid for the White House, FiveThirtyEight noted. The others are:
- Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
- Mike Braun (R-IN)
- Ted Budd (R-SC)
- Steve Daines (R-MT)
- Lindsey Graham (R-NC)
- Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
- Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)
- Eric Schmitt (R-MO)
- Rick Scott (R-FL)
- Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MI)
- Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)
- J.D. Vance (R-OH)
Only four Republican senators have endorsed someone other than Trump, according to FiveThirtyEight. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) endorsed Sen Tim. Scott, who has dropped out of the race. Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) each support Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND).
Trump is dominating his opponents in the Republican primary field. As of Sunday, he held 58.9 percent in the RealClearPolitics polling average, and his nearest opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), was 44.5 points behind, at 14.4 percent.
That's usually a call for the Right to move Left.
Not interested.
Do what's right and stick to what's right. If I do that I figure I have God on my side and that's all I need.
Oh, I figure God is on President Trump’s side this time, especially given DeSantis’ nasty, unethical, and disloyal attacks on President Trump, and given he is counting on President Trump to be removed from the ballot so, as he thinks, he is the default winner.
Me too. I don’t know about Sen. Roger Marshall and his “Call for GOP to Unite.” Here, that is usually followed by complaints about Trump personality or other b#ll sh#t.
Man, we gotta win as as, as Patriots. AFAIC, “unity” is when others joins us in our mission to restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic. Nothing less will do AFAIC.
Got NC and SC senators mixed up. Lindsay in NOT North Carolina

The Carolina’s are mixed up.
NC has been a troubling state politically since Senator Jesse Helms retired and later died.
I would have expected Hawley, Kennedy, and Cruz on this list too.
Burgum still has $ for his consultants to spend, although he is going nowhere. I guess with the torn achilles he can’t move fast enough to drop out quickly. His home state senators will come around to Trump once the faux primary season is over.
