Republican Senator Mike Braun has thrown his hat behind former President Donald Trump in his bid to become the 47th president of the United States.
“As a Main Street Entrepreneur and political outsider, I’ve seen firsthand how the Washington swamp works against Hoosiers and works overtime to hamper our prosperity,” Braun said in a statement.
“Donald Trump is a businessman and outsider,” Braun continued. “Together, we took on the Washington swamp with a historic victory in the 2018 Indiana Senate race.”
Braun, who is running to become governor of Indiana, was a defender of Trump during his first impeachment trial. Trump helped Braun defeat then-incumbent Democrat Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly in 2018.
“Donald Trump is the candidate capable of returning us to the America First policies that delivered unmatched prosperity and security for the American people,” Braun wrote.
Braun became the 11th sitting U.S. senator to back Trump for president, joining the likes of Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), North Carolina Senator Ted Budd (R-N.C.), and Ohio Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio). Four sitting governors and more than 70 members of the House of Representatives have also endorsed Trump.

What role has Donald Trump’s endorsement played in mobilizing conservative voters and shaping the political landscape?
Republican Senator Mike Braun Supports Former President Donald Trump in Bid for Presidency
Republican Senator Mike Braun has announced his endorsement of former President Donald Trump in his run for the 47th president of the United States. Braun, who is currently running for governor of Indiana, expressed his support for Trump’s candidacy, citing his business background and his status as an outsider to the political establishment.
Braun stated, “As a Main Street Entrepreneur and political outsider, I’ve seen firsthand how the Washington swamp works against Hoosiers and works overtime to hamper our prosperity. Donald Trump is a businessman and outsider. Together, we took on the Washington swamp with a historic victory in the 2018 Indiana Senate race.”
This endorsement comes as no surprise, as Braun was a vocal defender of Trump during his first impeachment trial. Trump’s support played a crucial role in Braun’s defeat of then-incumbent Democrat Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly in 2018.
In his endorsement statement, Braun emphasized Trump’s ability to deliver prosperity and security for the American people through his “America First” policies. Braun’s endorsement adds to the growing list of sitting U.S. senators who have thrown their support behind Trump, including Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn and North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis.
By aligning himself with Trump, Braun aims to appeal to the Trump base and solidify his position as a conservative champion in his bid for the governorship of Indiana. Trump’s endorsement has proven to be a powerful tool in mobilizing conservative voters, and Braun hopes to benefit from this support in his campaign.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, endorsements from prominent figures within the Republican Party will continue to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape. Donald Trump’s influence within the party remains strong, as seen in Braun’s endorsement. The former president’s America First agenda still resonates with many conservatives, and candidates like Braun are eager to tap into that support.
It will be interesting to see how Braun’s endorsement of Trump will impact his campaign for governor of Indiana and how the former president’s support will shape the Republican Party’s future. As the race for the presidency heats up, political alliances and endorsements will continue to be pivotal factors in determining the ultimate outcome.
