EXCLUSIVE — House Majority Leader SteveScalise (R-LA) has yet to weigh in on who he thinks should be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024, but he isn't ruling an endorsement out before the primary. READ:
In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner, Scalise said he"very well may" make an endorsement ahead of the primary, potentially swaying voters."I've got a lot of friends in the race," he noted."I mean, I worked very closely with President Trump when he was in office, especially when we were in the majority for those two years."
However, Scalise added that"right now, we're focused on trying to get spending under control and push back against the far-left extremism of the Biden administration.""I know there's a number of Republicans that are in the early stages of these primaries," the Louisiana Republican explained."It will heat up, I'm sure, early next year. And, you know, when you see Iowa [and] New Hampshire really get the official season started.
Trump additionally enjoys the support of more than 50 members of the House of Representatives, as well as 11 senators.
