Trump Picks Up Big Endorsement From Major City Police Union

On Friday, the Milwaukee Police Association announced its endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, marking another significant win for the former president’s campaign.

“We like to say the Milwaukee Police Association is the ‘force behind the force,’” MPA President Alex Ayala said in a statement. “We use the words ‘honor’ and ‘service’ when we talk about the brave men and women of our department. Their importance extends far beyond the uniform and badge; it is about their commitment to serving and protecting us all.”

The association reported numerous policing challenges in Milwaukee, including low bail for dangerous criminals and a staffing crisis. “The Milwaukee Police Association believes the solutions to these challenges are possible,” Ayala wrote. “That’s why we are endorsing the Presidential ticket of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.”

In 2020, Trump was endorsed by a major New York police union, according to Spectrum News, and the union had no regrets despite his loss. “Addressing these issues isn’t political — it is truly a matter of life and death to Milwaukee,” Ayala said.

Meanwhile, Trump has brought back a familiar face from his 2016 campaign for his current presidential run.

Corey Lewandowski, who served as an informal adviser during the 2016 campaign, is set to join the senior leadership team of Trump’s current campaign, according to a Politico source who requested anonymity. Lewandowski will be one of several former Trump aides taking on advisory roles.

Campaign sources have stressed that the recent changes to the leadership team aim to improve management rather than indicate a major overhaul as the campaign gears up for the crucial final months before the election.

New additions include Tim Murtaugh, former communications director for Trump’s 2020 campaign, and Alex Pfeiffer and Alex Bruesewitz, both of whom previously played key roles in the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC, with Bruesewitz known for his significant social media presence. Politico also reported earlier this week that Taylor Budowich, former head of MAGA Inc., has transitioned into a senior role within the Trump campaign.
