President Trump endorsed David Stumbo for South Carolina attorney general in a Truth Social post published October 29, 2026, at 18:55 UTC. The post calls Stumbo “A Strong Conservative Fighter” and gives him “my Complete and Total Endorsement.” For working families, the post ties the endorsement to law and order, border security and public safety, but it does not announce a new law, budget or policy.
What the President said
The post is the President’s own statement. You can read it in full at President Trump’s Truth Social post. The key line reads: “David Stumbo has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Attorney General of South Carolina — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
Who the post says David Stumbo is
The post describes Stumbo as “America First Patriot” and “A Strong Conservative Fighter.” It says he has “distinguished himself as a Criminal Prosecutor and Solicitor for the Eighth Judicial Circuit of South Carolina.” The post says he has “the Courage and Wisdom to deliver strong results.” These are the President’s descriptions of Stumbo, not independently confirmed facts.
What the post says he would do as attorney general
The post lists the priorities it attributes to Stumbo:
- Ensure LAW AND ORDER
- Champion our Law Enforcement and First Responders
- Support our Military/Veterans
- Advance Election Integrity
- Keep our Border SECURE
- Stop Migrant Crime
- Uphold our Constitution
- Defend our always under siege Second Amendment
The post does not say which laws he would pursue or how any of these priorities would change a family’s budget or daily life. Those answers depend on what the office does once someone holds it.
What the post claims about South Carolina results
The post says the President “WON BIG” in South Carolina in 2016, 2020 and 2024. That is his statement about past results, reported here as he made it.
What is verified and what is still pending
Verified: the endorsement exists as a post on the President’s Truth Social account, dated October 29, 2026. The post itself is the primary record of the endorsement and its wording.
Still pending: the election outcome. A Truth Social endorsement does not decide the race, and voters will. Any policy the post describes would depend on the election and on what the attorney general’s office does after it.
