Brooks campaigns in Tallapoosa County just hours before losing Trump’s endorsement

Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks was still holding onto a Donald Trump endorsement to replace Richard Shelby as U.S. Senator Tuesday night just hours before the former president changed his mind.

“Do you want to know who supports Donald Trump?” Brooks told a gathering of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party. “I cut three checks in 2016, 2020 to help him get elected. In turn he endorsed me in 2018, 2020 and now in 2022.”
