"Sen. Barrasso Endorses Trump for President, Urges Return to White House"

Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 3 Senate Republican, endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election, making him the highest-ranking GOP senator to do so. This move solidifies Barrasso as the most Trump-friendly GOP senior Republican and sets him apart from other potential successors to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Barrasso's endorsement gives Trump backing from 20 of the 49 GOP senators, while McConnell remains neutral in the primary.
