All House GOP Leadership Endorses Trump for 2024 Presidential Election

Endorsements Come Despite Trump's Previous Opposition to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer's Bid for House Speakership

  • House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) have endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, completing the full endorsement of Trump by all House GOP leadership.
  • Trump's endorsement by Emmer is particularly notable given that Trump had previously thwarted Emmer's bid for House speakership.
  • Despite facing 91 criminal charges and removal from the ballot in Colorado and Maine over his incitement of the deadly January 6 attack on Congress, Trump leads presidential rivals by vast polling margins.
  • Trump's endorsements come less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, which kick off the Republican primary calendar.
  • Trump's campaign is making a significant push ahead of Iowa with the hope that a runaway victory there will stomp out any potential momentum for rivals Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
