RALEIGH — President Donald Trump has given his endorsement to North Carolina Republican Party Chair Jason Simmons in his reelection bid to retain his position.
“Chairman Jason Simmons is doing a tremendous job leading the North Carolina Republican Party!” the president wrote in a Truth Social post. “Jason has been with us from the very beginning, and has been key to our many Republican Victories in The Tar Heel State, including my HISTORIC WINS in 2016, 2020, and 2024!
“Jason will continue to work closely with me to ensure North Carolina is successful in 2026 and beyond,” Trump wrote. “Jason Simmons has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”
Simmons first became chair of the North Carolina Republican Party in March 2024. He was selected by the party’s executive committee to fill the remainder of Michael Whatley’s term after Whatley resigned to become the chair of the Republican National Committee.
In addition to Trump, Simmons has received the endorsement of North Carolina Congressmen Greg Murphy (R-Greenville) and David Rouzer (R-Wilmington).
