Trump backs Florida AG James Ulthmeier for a full term

President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed Florida Attorney General James Ulthmeier for election to a full term.

Ulthmeier became state attorney general after Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., appointed then-AG Ashley Moody to replace now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He previously served as the governor's chief of staff.

"Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is doing a GREAT job for the Sunshine State, which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024," Trump posted on Truth Social. "James is an America First Warrior, who is a true champion for 'MAGA.' He is THE MAN behind ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ, and argued strongly at the United States Supreme Court in defense of my Executive Power to fire Deep State bureaucrats."

"Under James’ fearless leadership, over 1,000 CRIMINAL PEDOPHILES have been arrested, missing children have been SAVED, and our Great Members of Law Enforcement have been empowered to do their jobs and, KEEP FLORIDA SAFE," he added. "In his next term, James will continue to work tirelessly to Ensure Law and Order, Uphold our Constitutional Rights, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment."
 
"James Uthmeier is a Strong Conservative Fighter and Prosecutor, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!" Trump insisted.

Alligator Alcatraz is a detention facility for illegal immigrants that the state and federal government erected in a joint effort to bolster Trump's mass deportation initiative.
