President Trump on Tuesday endorsed Supervisor Jim Desmond in the race to succeed veteran Republican Rep. Darrell Issa in Congress.
“It is my Great Honor to endorse Highly Respected San Diego County Supervisor, Jim Desmond, who is running to represent the tremendous people of California’s 48th Congressional District,” said Trump in a post on Truth Social.
“Thank you, Mr. President,” said Desmond on X. “We’re going to win this race, bring common sense back to California, and make this state affordable for working families again.”
Desmond is the leading Republican contender in a district whose boundaries were redrawn under Proposition 50 to make it easier to elect a Democrat. The district previously encompassed east San Diego County and Temecula, but now includes much of North County as well as Palm Springs.
Issa decided not to run for the seat following the redistricting approved by California voters.
The top Democrats vying for the post in the June primary are Ammar Campa-Najjar, who has run three times before; San Diego Councilmember Marni von Wilpert; and Brandon Riker, a Palm Springs investor.
Campa-Najjar quickly downplayed the endorsement, calling it “Kiss of death. It’s like Republicans want Democrats to win back the House.”
Desmond is a Navy veteran and airline pilot who previously served as mayor of San Marcos before being elected a county supervisor.
