Multiple Republican senators are openly defying Donald Trump by stating that they want Senate Majority Leader John Thune to serve another term.
The 80-year-old president declined to offer an endorsement of Thune in an interview with PunchBowl News, telling Jake Sherman: “I don’t want to get into that necessarily.”
Trump then cited two major sticking points that he and the South Dakota Republican have been fighting over for several months—the president’s demands to eliminate the Senate filibuster in order to get his SAVE America Act passed. Thune has had to repeatedly tell Trump there are not enough votes in the upper chamber to be able to do either of these things.
