(DailyAnswer.org) – Donald Trump has once again secured the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, the nation’s oldest and largest police organization. During a gathering in North Carolina, the group’s president, Patrick Yoes, publicly announced their support for Trump’s second term, declaring there was “zero doubt” about their decision.
Trump, who had previously earned their endorsement in 2016 and 2020, called it an “honor” to be backed by such a respected group. In his remarks, he underscored the importance of law enforcement and border security as crucial issues for the upcoming election. He believes these concerns are at the core of restoring safety to the nation.
Yoes praised Trump’s efforts during his first term, particularly his support of police during the unrest in 2020. According to Yoes, Trump helped halt the growing “defund the police” movement, a stance that the organization credits with lowering crime rates in cities across America. Yoes emphasized that re-electing Trump is necessary to keep crime under control and ensure the safety of American communities.
Yoes also pointed out that, unlike Trump, Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president and Trump’s opponent in this race, had not offered to meet with the Fraternal Order of Police. He suggested this reflected a deeper contrast in how the two candidates view law enforcement.
Trump addressed the police officers gathered in North Carolina, expressing admiration for their work and promising to stand by them. He sharply criticized Harris, calling her a “defunder” of police and holding her responsible for a rise in crime rates. Trump went on to refer to it as “Kamala’s crime wave” and promised that if he is re-elected, he will put an end to it.
Citing specific statistics, Trump claimed that violent crime has risen significantly under the Biden-Harris administration. He vowed to reverse these trends, asserting that his leadership would bring a swift end to what he described as a national crime crisis.
This endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police adds strength to Trump’s 2024 campaign, as he continues to position himself as the candidate most committed to restoring law and order across the country.
