Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.C.) is endorsing former President Trump for president in 2024, his office confirmed to multiple outlets.
Thune’s support marks a high-profile win for Trump, from the No. Republican in the Senate, who is seen as a serious legislator and a possible successor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Thune spoke with Trump by phone on Saturday night after Trump won South Carolina’s primary, Fox News reported. An account on X, formerly Twitter, run by Trump’s campaign, posted the Fox News reporting.
The Hill has reached out to Thune’s office for confirmation.
Thune has at times been critical of Trump and has broken with him on several key votes. This weekend’s endorsement only underscores Trump’s strong grip on the party.

Thune is a RINO supreme but even he is like a stopped clock.
Time for FroZen Midge to step down.
I’m sure he had to get Mitch to sign off on it.
Thune doesn’t go to the men’s room unless the Turtle lets him.
I hope Thune didn’t hurt himself tripping, in his rush to endorse Trump.
Make sure both his hands are showing.
What a leader!
(sarcasm, if not detected)
RINOs will try to befriend Trump again. They had some success kissing his butt last time.
You can’t deliver the kill shot if you can’t get close, opposing Trump will not allow these liberal republicans access to undermine him.
“…. An account on X, formerly Twitter,”
Is there an expiration date on reminding us X was once Twitter? Unless you vote Democrat or you are living under a rock, everyone knows what X is.
Drives me insane too. Must be part of the X trademark agreement, lol.
I don’t trust Thune. This endorsement bares watching.
He’s a liar.
Mitch’s Bitch.
Ditch is yet a NeverTrumper.
Mwah-ha-ha!
I thought he had previously made a statement it was time to move on from DJT.
SC usually stands for South Carolina.
Thune is Senator for South Dakota.
Thune is a waste of a senate seat.
This must have hurt him. He & Mitch despise Trump.
Brutas makes his move.
Whut?
