President Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan show their support for Erik Paulsen

The 3rd District Representative has been trying to distance himself from the president.

President Donald Trump tweeted his endorsement of 3rd District Rep. Erik Paulsen Monday night, but will the congressman thank him for it?

The president is amidst a series of endorsement tweets for various candidates ahead of the Nov. 6 mid-terms, and the president reserved one of them for Paulsen.

“Congressman Erik Paulsen of the Great State of Minnesota has done a fantastic job in cutting Taxes and Job Killing Regulations,” he wrote. “Hard working and very smart. Keep Erik in Congress. He has my Strong Endorsement!”

President backs a loyal footsoldier in competitive race in moderate MN03

Excelsior, MN – Just before midnight last night, President Donald Trump delivered a glowing endorsement to one of his most loyal members of Congress — faux moderate Erik Paulsen.

“Congressman Erik Paulsen of the Great State of Minnesota has done a fantastic job in cutting Taxes and Job Killing Regulations,” President Trump tweeted. “Hard working and very smart. Keep Erik in Congress. He has my Strong Endorsement!”

“Donald Trump doesn’t endorse moderates. Congressman Paulsen’s record of voting with the President 98% of the time has earned him the Trump seal of approval,” said Zach Rodvold, campaign manager for Phillips for Congress. “And Congressman Paulsen doesn’t just vote with Trump 98% of the time, he’s beginning to behave like him too, using personal insults and slander and telling lie after lie in his ads and in public appearances. Voters are finally getting to know the real Erik Paulsen — and they don’t like what they see.”
