After Donald Trump and the Republicans' sweeping victory in the 2024 election, Governor-elect Pulaalii Nikolao Pula of American Samoa and Governor Arnold Palacios of the Northern Mariana Islands revealed their decisions to become Republicans. Pula cited GOP "values of respect for God, Country and Family," while Palacios praised "President Trump and the Republican Party's message of freedom, opportunity, and strength." Both governors cited Trump in their statements.

A Dec. 23 RNC release quoted Pula and Palacios, along with other Republican leaders. Governor-elect Pula said, "It is clear to me that Republican Party values of respect for God, Country and Family are Samoan values." 

Citing the reform plans of Republican politicians, Pula added, "President Trump and the ... GOP's ironclad commitment to reforming the federal government along with growing the economy will greatly benefit American Samoa, as we develop a partnership to build a strong economy here over the next four years." The outgoing governor of American Samoa, whom Pula is replacing, is a Democrat.

Palacios, like Pula, finds the MAGA message appealing, and believes that he can best serve his constituents by joining the Republican Party. "I was elected to serve the best interests of the people of the Northern Mariana Islands above all else, and that commitment remains unwavering," the former independent explained. "It is clear to me that President Trump and the Republican Party's message of freedom, opportunity, and strength at home and on a global stage best aligns with the vision and priorities of improving the economy and creating better opportunities for every family in the Northern Mariana Islands. I look forward to working with fellow Republicans on our shared work ahead!"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
