Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the second-ranking Republican leader in the Senate, announced Saturday he is seeking reelection to a fourth term in 2022.
FILE - Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021. Thune is seeking reelection to a fourth term in 2022. He turned 61 on Friday, Jan. 7, 2022, and is second-ranked in Senate Republican leadership.
“I’ve always promised that I would do the work, even when it was hard, uncomfortable, or unpopular," Thune said in a statement on Twitter."That work continues, which is why after careful consideration and prayer, and with the support of my family, I’m asking South Dakotans for the opportunity to continue serving them in the U.S. Senate.”Thune is a likely successor to Sen. Mitch McConnell as the leader of the GOP’s Senate caucus.
Two of the 10 current House Republicans who voted last January to impeach Trump after he goaded supporters to attack the Capitol have also decided to leave office: Reps. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. In addition, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was removed from her House GOP leadership job and at least two others face Trump-backed primary challengers.
