President Trump on Monday endorsed seven Republicans seeking election to the House for the first time, as the GOP clings to a narrow majority in the lower chamber ahead of the midterms.

In a slew of posts on Truth Social, Trump threw his support behind John Cowan in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District, Anthony DiLorenzo in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, Jeanine Driscoll in New York’s 4th Congressional District, Jenny Honneycutt in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, Barb Regnitz in Indiana’s 1st Congressional District, Brent Taylor in Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District and Steve Toth in Texas’s 2nd Congressional District.

Five of the candidates have already clinched the GOP nomination in their respective districts, with Taylor and DiLorenzo facing primaries in August and September, respectively.

Toth is the lone endorsee who knocked off a sitting member of Congress in his primary, as the Texas state representative defeated Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) in March by roughly 15 points.

Three of the candidates the president backed — Cowan, Taylor and Toth — are running in races the nonpartisan Cook Political Report (CPR) rates as solidly in the GOP camp.
