“I am proud to announce my endorsement of President Trump because Iowans know he is the only candidate who can defeat Joe Biden and bring prosperity back to America,” Bird said in a statement. “We have seen what Joe Biden’s America looks like— rampant crime, lawlessness, and broken communities. During President Trump’s first term, he stood up for law enforcement, kept our families safe and secured our Southern border. He will do that again when he returns to the White House.”
“As I travel the 99 counties and meet with hardworking Iowans, it is clear President Trump is the true grassroots candidate who will represent all of us instead of special interests and political insiders,” continued Bird.
Bird is the first Republican to be attorney general since 1979. Bird becomes the second statewide officeholder to issue a public endorsement this Iowa caucus cycle. Iowa Treasurer Roby Smith had previously backed entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading the Republican primary field in Iowa by 33%.
The endorsement also came after US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a gag order on the 45th president regarding his federal election challenge case.
