what's interesting about john thune's place in all of this is john thune recently endorsed donald trump for president of the united states. he initially endorsed his colleague tim scott for that job, and thune's had an uneven relationship with donald trump. he has blamed him in part for what happened here on january 6th. and he also has pushed back on trump's claim that he actually won the election and not joe biden. he was pressed this this interview about that particular topic about whether or not he could still vote for trump despite the fact that he claims to have won the 2020 election. he was going to let the process play out and republicans pick their nominee, and he was going to support the republican nominee. this will be just the first of what will be many announcements, the second of many announcements in a hotly contested race for a republican leader in the senate. >> buckle up, ryan nobles, thank you. >>> right after the break, we'll speak to chef jose andres, the founder of world central kitchen. his team is on the ground in rafah which israel is promising to invade. you're
