Freshmen Senators J.D. Vance of Ohio and Eric Schmitt of Missouri are gearing up to throw their weight behind Former President Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to reporting by Politico.
Although the former president has enjoyed significant support from the Republicans in the House of Representatives, he has struggled to gain significant support from those in the Senate.
According to Politico, Vance has told those in his circle that he sees himself endorsing the former president in the upcoming 2024 GOP Primary.
Trump notably endorsed Vance during the 2022 Ohio GOP Senate primary and is largely credited with helping the best-selling author and former venture capitalist secure the nomination. Vance thanked Trump after winning the May 3 primary but notably did not mention the former president in his general election victory speech.
Schmitt said in interview Monday that he would support the former President, according to Politico.
“He’s very popular in Missouri. He’s been somebody that’s gotten the support of Missourians by big margins a couple times. He has my support,” Schmitt said, per Politico.
The former President has struggled to gain support from the Senate, signaling a significantly changed landscape within GOP politics. The underperformance of Trump-backed candidates in the 2022 midterm elections sparked anger and frustration from many Republicans.

I like the Schmidt on Newsman. Indiana. He’d be a good senator.
These guys owe Trump. Trump will deal with unfinished business in both parties as well as the country. Then there’s the unstable world the voters can’t fathom.
We may have to give the country one more chance. Let the chips fall where they may.
I can’t stand neverTrumper Ben Shapiro.
The GOP just lost the 2022 election cycle. But just wait!!! With those hilarious verbal zingers coming from DJT things will be so much better in 2024. /s
Hmmm you must not be very familiar with Ben Shapiro nor that he did indeed plan to vote for Trump and supported him in his 2020 election.
Shapiro was won over by Trump’s economics and his ability to negotiate better positions both politically and economically especially in the Middle East .
He attacks him most of the time. He doesn’t think 2020 was stolen and claimed it’s Trump’s fault if he can’t beat Biden when the media is biased and there was a mail-in ballots election.
Me neither. I gave up listening to him because I hate the sound of his voice; plus he talks too fast.
Me too
Don’t forget the other 85 million voters who endorse Trump.
