Another top GOP leader is backing the former president in 2024.
According to a report from The Washington Examiner, House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) has officially endorsed former President Donald Trump.
“Democrats have made clear they will use every tool in their arsenal to try and keep Joe Biden and his failed policies in power. We cannot let them. It’s time for Republicans to unite behind our party’s clear front-runner, which is why I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for president,” Emmer said in the statement.
From The Washington Examiner:
With Emmer’s endorsement, Trump has now been endorsed by the top four Republicans in the House. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) endorsed Trump on Tuesday, and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) endorsed Trump earlier in the primary.
This is the third straight presidential cycle that Emmer has endorsed Trump, having done so in 2016 and 2020.
When he was chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee during the 2022 cycle, Emmer worked closely with Trump and praised him for helping Republicans win back the House.
“President Trump has been a tremendous partner in our efforts to fire Nancy Pelosi, and we are very pleased to see him making investments in the midterms,” Emmer told Breitbart in September 2022. “The American people are fed up with Joe Biden and Democrats’ record of rising prices, lawless cities, and a southern border that has been completely overrun by drug cartels.”
