Donald Trump’s convincing win in South Carolina reverberated Sunday across the political spectrum as Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell‘s top deputy endorsed the former president while a prominent Koch-backed group dropped its funding for Nikki Haley.
Senate Minority Whip John Thune, the chamber’s No. 2 Republican, announced his endorsement if Trump in a statement to Fox News.
”The primary results in South Carolina make clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president in this year’s pivotal presidential election,” Thune said. “The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden.”
