House Majority Whip Tom Emmer announced Wednesday that he would be endorsing former President Donald Trump for president in the 2024 election, making him the fifth member of GOP House leadership to endorse Trump.
Emmer released a statement one day after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise endorsed the former President, saying he believes Trump is the best person to defeat President Joe Biden. Scalise, Speaker Mike Johnson, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chair Richard Hudson have all endorsed Trump.
