INDIANAPOLIS — Former President Donald Trump has shared his endorsement of Rep. Jim Banks for the to-be-vacated United States Senate seat.
Banks announced his plans to run for the seat that will be vacated by current Senator Mike Braun in January.
Braun will step aside to run for Indiana Governor in 2024.
On Wednesday, Trump announced his support for Banks on social media platform Truth Social.
“Jim Banks is running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Indiana. I know Jim well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and WIN! Strong on the Border, Crime, our Military and our Vets, Jim will fight for low taxes and regulations, Sanity in Government, and our under siege 2nd Amendment. Jim Banks is respected by all, will never let you down, and has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”
Following the endorsement, Banks released the following statement:
“President Trump was the first president of my lifetime to confront the China threat and put working families in Indiana and across the country first. He strengthened our military and America’s standing on the world stage, secured the border, and grew our economy, but in just two years we’ve seen much of that progress wiped out by Joe Biden and the Democrats’ radical agenda. I’m grateful to President Trump for his support and look forward to fighting for the America First agenda in the U.S. Senate.”
