Rep. Jimmy Duncan (R-Tenn.) on Saturday endorsed Donald Trump for president, giving the GOP front-runner his 12th lawmaker endorsement.
{mosads}“Every country wants into our markets. We have tremendous leverage on trade we have not used. Donald Trump will do that,” he said in a statement, according to Politico.
According to The Hill’s endorsement tracker, Trump still trails Ted Cruz in lawmaker endorsements by a wide margin.
The Texas senator, who is not held in high regard by many in the GOP, holds endorsements from 35 sitting members.
