Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Wednesday excitedly told reporters that if “Trump endorses [Senator John Cornyn] early, it saves everybody a lot of money, and… 10 weeks of a spirited campaign on our side that keeps us from spending time focusing on the Democrats.”
“Thune and other Senate Republicans have been trying to nudge Trump for months to endorse Cornyn, who acknowledged last month that he didn’t expect the president to weigh in before Tuesday night’s election,” said an actual sentence in the Politico report that quoted Thune.
“Other allies of the Texas Republican who were granted anonymity to speak candidly said his performance Tuesday means, in their view, a Trump endorsement is still a possibility,” the report on grown men hoping another grown man posts something on social media concluded.
