After being endorsed by former President Trump in their
campaigns, Trump-backed candidates quickly came to the former
president's defense after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago home
Monday.

The FBI raided Trump's home on Monday, in search of classified
materials that Trump allegedly took back to his residence
following his time in the White House.

Following the raid, Trump-endorsed midterm candidates raced to
Twitter to defend the former Republican president.

Blake Masters, Republican nominee in Arizona's Senate race:
"When street crimes go unsolved, but opposition leaders are
hounded by federal police, you’re living in a Third World
country… Everyone knows this was politically motivated. And that
should terrify us all"

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican nominee in Pennsylvania's Senate race:
"America is bitterly divided, & what Pres. Biden’s FBI and DOJ
did last night will only make things worse. Americans have every
right to be upset & demand answers on why this raid happened in
the most aggressive action taken against a former president ever
in our nation’s history."

J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee in Ohio's Senate race, said
the raid raises the question of whether the U.S. is a republic
at all, and called for investigations of individuals who
"politicized" the FBI.

Tudor Dixon, Republican nominee in Michigan's gubernatorial
race, tied the raid to her own Democratic opponent, Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer. "As Whitmer says, she and Biden are cut from
the same cloth - both weaponize law enforcement. Biden raids
President Trump’s home. Whitmer illegally prosecuted her
predecessor & continues to go after him & his staff. Shameful
abuse of power, contemptuous of American principles."

John Gibbs, Republican nominee in Michigan's Third Congressional
District, said "The Biden FBI just raided Trump’s home at Mar-a-
Lago, corruptly using the powers of the state against his
political rival. Absolutely shameful and a terrible precedent
for our Republic. There must be, and will be, accountability."
