House Maj Ldr. Scalise Endorses Trump For President

US

US House of Representatives Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) has given his official endorsement to former President Donald Trump in his bid to regain the White House in this November's election reports Fox News. Scalise posted on X: "I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, and I look forward to working with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden’s failed policies." After Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Scalise becomes the second highest-ranking member of the House to endorse Trump in his run for the GOP nomination.

  • The endorsement comes just under two weeks ahead of the Iowa Republican caucuses on 15 January. Trump is already seen as a strong favourite for both Iowa, and the GOP primary race as a whole, notwithstanding the legal challenges he faces and the uncertainty engendered by his removal from the primary ballots in Colorado and Maine.
