Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) has endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, saying the former president can deliver “unmatched prosperity and security” to Americans.

“I am proud to endorse the ultimate outsider [Donald Trump] for President of the United States!” Mr. Braun wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sept. 18.

With Mr. Braun’s endorsement, President Trump has now secured the endorsement of 11 GOP senators. The other 10 are Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), JD Vance (R-Ohio), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.)Ted Budd (R-N.C.)Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.)Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Steve Daines (R-Mont.).

“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,” Mr. Braun wrote in his endorsement statement.

He added: “Donald Trump is a businessman and outsider. Together we took on the Washington swamp with a historic victory in the 2018 Indiana Senate race. We installed constitutional conservatives on the Supreme Court who have protected the unborn and our Second Amendment rights, and we disrupted the cozy, self-serving Washington elites who are bankrupting our country,”

“Donald Trump is the candidate capable of returning us to the America First policies that delivered unmatched prosperity and security for the American people. I give Donald Trump my endorsement for President of the United States,” Mr. Braun concluded.

Braun Speaks Out

Mr. Braun, who is running for governor of Indiana in 2024, was endorsed by President Trump in 2018, when he successfully unseated incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly for Indiana’s Senate seat.

The Indiana senator has been outspoken this year over indictments against the former president.

“Another week, another attempt by President [Joe] Biden and his party’s prosecutors to put their leading political rival behind bars and interfere with the 2024 presidential election. President Biden’s weaponization of the justice system will cause irreversible damage to our nation and divide us further,” Mr. Braun said in a statement after the former president was indicted in connection to his efforts to dispute Georgia’s 2020 election results in August.
