House Whip Tom Emmer has declared his support for former US President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, making him the latest Republican House leader to back Trump’s re-election campaign, CNN reports.
Emmer expressed concerns about the Democrats and criticized President Joe Biden’s policies, he emphasized the need for Republicans to unite behind Trump as the clear frontrunner.
Emmer’s endorsement follows House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s support a day earlier, solidifying Trump’s backing from all Republican House leaders, two weeks ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
Despite facing multiple criminal trials and 91 charges, Trump maintains a substantial lead in nationwide polling over potential rivals like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
