Former President Donald Trump gave an enthusiastic endorsement of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Thursday, calling on him to run for a third term in the Senate. The Wisconsin senator has not made his decision public yet.

“Even though he has not yet announced that he is running, and I certainly hope he does, I am giving my Complete and Total Endorsement to Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin,” Trump said in a statement released by his political action committee, Save America.
