President Donald Trump has suggested that Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) should face a primary challenge in 2022, in an apparent response to Thune’s unwillingness to back a challenge to the 2020 election results.

“Republicans in the Senate so quickly forget. Right now, they would be down 8 seats without my backing them in the last Election,” the president wrote on Twitter on Dec. 22.
