In a surprising move ahead of his highly anticipated address on election security, former President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, as "one of America's greatest and most hard-working Patriots." Lindell is a vocal election denier who has been a longtime ally of Trump, and this endorsement is likely to raise eyebrows given the president's stated focus on election security. Trump's backing of Lindell comes as the country remains deeply divided over the 2020 presidential election, with many Republicans continuing to question the legitimacy of Biden's victory. As Trump prepares to address the nation, his support for Lindell has sparked concerns that he may use the platform to further promote unfounded claims of election fraud.
Trump praised Lindell as "one of America's greatest and most hard working Patriots" and gave formal backing to a fellow election denier a day before the Republican president delivers a national address he says will focus on election security.
