Trump Again Touts John Cox for Governor in California

Tuesday, 05 June 2018 09:48 AM EDT

President Donald Trump on Tuesday encouraged voters to get behind John Cox in California's GOP primary for governor.

In High Tax, High Crime California, be sure to get out and vote for Republican John Cox for Governor. He will make a BIG difference!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018

Get the vote out in California today for Rep. Kevin McCarthy and all of the great GOP candidates for Congress. Keep our country out of the hands of High Tax, High Crime Nancy Pelosi.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2018

Cox, one of five Republican candidates for governor, is running on an anti-tax and anti-immigration platform, right in the wheelhouse of Trump.

The Hill reports that Cox has surged into second place behind Democratic leader Gavin Newsom.

Trump first endorsed Cox last month.

California finally deserves a great Governor, one who understands borders, crime and lowering taxes. John Cox is the man - he’ll be the best Governor you’ve ever had. I fully endorse John Cox for Governor and look forward to working with him to Make California Great Again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 18, 2018
