KS-GOV: Trump endorses Kobach

President Trump on Monday endorsed controversial immigration hardliner Kris Kobach for governor of Kansas.

Trump wrote in a morning tweet that Kobach is a "strong and early supporter of mine" and deserves the Republican Party's gubernatorial nod.

"He is a fantastic guy who loves his State and our Country - he will be a GREAT Governor and has my full & total Endorsement! Strong on Crime, Border & Military. VOTE TUESDAY!" he tweeted.

Kris Kobach’s Lucrative Trail of Courtroom Defeats
