Sen. John Barrasso Endorses Trump for 2024 Presidential Run
Barrasso Becomes Highest-Ranking Senate Republican to Back Trump Ahead of Iowa Caucuses
- Sen. John Barrasso, the third highest-ranking Republican in the Senate, has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election.
- Barrasso's endorsement makes him the highest-ranking Senate Republican to back Trump, joining 19 other GOP senators who have publicly declared their support for Trump.
- Barrasso's endorsement comes just days ahead of the Iowa caucuses, where Trump remains the frontrunner.
- Trump's closest primary opponents, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have not yet been endorsed by any current Republican senators.
- Barrasso, who is up for reelection himself this year in deep-red Wyoming, is viewed by some as one of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's possible successors.
