Trump tweets endorsement for Minnesota congressional candidate Hughes
President Donald Trump is endorsing Minnesota congressional candidate Dave Hughes.
Trump tweeted Saturday that Hughes ``will help us accomplish our America First policies.''
Hughes is trying to unseat 14-term Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson in Minnesota's 7th Congressional District.
Hughes is a retired Air Force officer. He gave Peterson a scare in 2016, losing the election by just 5 percentage points in a race few expected to be close.
