Contributing sentiments towards policy:
63% : In recent months, however, Thune has described a "working relationship" with Trump.59% : Those reports were confirmed on Tuesday evening, when Trump officially announced the nomination on social media.
41% : "Noem and Thune would both be connected to a demand Trump made last week, writing on Truth Social that "Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.
38% : "That's a process under which Senate leadership would dismiss the chambers and allow Trump to appoint his nominees without the need to go through Senate confirmation, and which all three candidates, Thune included, expressed support for.
35% : Critics of Thune pointed to when he called on Trump to step down as the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, following the release of an Access Hollywood tape that outlined a conversation about groping women, and his denouncement of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the United States Capitol Building.
15% : And after Thune said in late 2020 that attempts to challenge the country's Electoral College votes prior to the election would "go down like a shot dog" in the Senate, Trump himself urged Noem to primary Thune in the 2022 election.
7% : While Trump did not directly weigh in on the race, a number of his allies had pushed for Scott in recent weeks, decrying Thune and Cornyn as insufficiently conservative.
