“I want to clear up any confusion that may exist about my position on the November election,” Gilmore said in a Facebook post.

“While I hadn't been formally asked to do so, today I wanted to make clear that I endorse the Republican nominee, Donald Trump for the Presidency and I urge every voter in the Commonwealth of Virginia to join me in doing so.”

Gilmore went on to detail the myriad of ways he has helped the Trump campaign, including serving on its agricultural committee and stumping for the mogul throughout Virginia — though he maintains that he hadn’t officially endorse Trump until now. He also mentions serving on a campaign committee “that hasn’t been announced yet.”
