"Steve Scalise Backs Trump in Presidential Endorsement"

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, joining the majority of the GOP leadership in their support, with the exception of House majority whip Tom Emmer. Trump, who is leading the Republican primary field by a significant margin, expressed gratitude for Scalise's endorsement. This political move occurs as Trump faces legal challenges, with multiple criminal trials and charges against him, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
