President Donald Trump backed several House Republicans for reelection in Truth Social posts on Sunday, expressing support for Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York, Troy Downing of Montana, Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, and Bryan Steil of Wisconsin.
Each lawmaker received an individual post from Trump, and each post declared that the given lawmaker has Trump's endorsement.
Republicans currently hold the majority in the House, but the 2026 midterms will determine whether the GOP maintains control of the chamber during the tail end of Trump's second term in office.

Trump's show of support for Garbarino comes after the congressman failed to cast a vote on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that passed the House last week.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said that "Garbarino did not make it in time," but had fallen asleep.
"I am proud to have been the leading voice on Long Island during negotiations on this key reconciliation bill. I fought to lift the cap on SALT and ensure hardworking Long Island families see the benefits of this important legislation. I was moments away from the House floor, to vote 'yes,' when the vote was closed," Garbarino said in a statement.

"While I am frustrated that the vote was closed before I was able to cast my vote, I am proud of the work we accomplished to deliver huge results for Long Island. I congratulate President Trump on getting this bill passed and look forward to voting 'yes' when it comes back to the House floor from the Senate," Garbarino noted.
Johnson spoke highly of Garbarino in a post on X last week.
"In addition to our committee chairs who worked overtime to deliver the One Big Beautiful Bill, we also want to thank @RepGarbarino. My great friend Andrew played an essential role in negotiations among Members, and is a primary reason we were able to secure the deals which allowed us to pass our nation-shaping legislation this morning," Johnson noted.
"Andrew is highly regarded by me and all our Members as one of the most trusted, reliable, and talented colleagues in the House, and if it were not for his unique contributions and tireless efforts, we simply would not have achieved what we have in this Congress," the speaker added.

"Thank you, Mr. President, it's an honor to serve NY-02," Garbarino said in a Sunday night post on X in response to the president's endorsment.
