South Dakota Sen. John Thune is blitzing battleground states for candidates in competitive races as he vies to be the next Senate Republican leader in November.
FIRST ON FOX: Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., is blitzing through battleground states in the lead-up to the election, helping boost Republicans in their quest to take the Senate majority as he simultaneously vies to be their next leader. The Senate is in recess for the month of October and won't be back until after the election, but Thune doesn't seem to be slowing down in the meantime.
Later in the month, the source told Fox News Digital that Thune would be joining McCormick in Pennsylvania, Senate candidate Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., in Indiana and Senate candidate Tim Sheehy in Montana. He also has an array of events lined up with several senators who aren't up for re-election as he looks to lock down more support in the GOP conference.
