Strange was appointed to temporarily fill the seat after Sessions was confirmed to the top Justice Department job in February.

Strange has the backing of McConnell, who has put pressure on his allies to support the Alabama Republican. And Trump tweeted his endorsement of Strange Tuesday night.

Brooks said Wednesday morning that he was "baffled" by Trump's endorsement, suggesting that McConnell "somehow misled the President" into doing so.

"In any event, while Mitch McConnell and the Swamp managed to mislead the President last night, I still support the America First Agenda, and the polls show we have momentum," Brooks said in a statement.
