John Thune (R-S.D.) plans to put his full endorsement behind Sen. Tim Scott\u2019s (R-S.C.) bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>In a show of trying to move the party away from former President Trump, Thune will attend the South Carolina senator\u2019s formal campaign launch on Monday. As the No. 2 Senate Republican lawmaker, Thune is set to become the highest ranking congressional GOP leader to back Scott.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Thune\u2019s endorsement was first reported by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/05\/21\/john-thune-tim-scott-endorse-00098071\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Scott officially\u00a0declared\u00a0his candidacy on Friday, filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. Thune has been known to be a backer of Scott\u2019s presidential aspirations,  encouraging\u00a0Scott to jump into the 2024 race earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019d be a great candidate. I\u2019m excited about it. I\u2019ve been encouraging him,\u201d Thune told The Hill back in April. \u201cI think he\u2019s getting a lot of encouragement from his colleagues. He\u2019s really well thought of and respected and I think he\u2019d be a really interesting candidate for president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[I] told him to let me know when he wants to come to Northwest Iowa. It\u2019s right next to South Dakota and I tell him I\u2019ll come out for him or against him \u2014 whichever helps him the most,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds (R) said on Wednesday that he would back Scott\u2019s bid for president, becoming the first Republican senator to endorse a candidate other than former President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Scott is facing an already crowded field for the Republican nomination, including Trump, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been the only potential candidate so far to make headway on Trump in the polls, is also expected to announce his bid next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Scott is so far the only senator vying for a bid for the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
