Republican primary
On December 23, 2020, then-President
Donald Trump said Thune would face a primary challenger after Thune refused to support a challenge of the 2020 Electoral College results,
tweeting :
[3] "Republicans in the Senate so quickly forget. Right now they would be down 8 seats without my backing them in the last Election.
RINO John Thune, '
Mitch 's boy', should just let it play out. South Dakota doesn't like weakness. He will be primaried in 2022, political career over!!!" South Dakota Governor
Kristi Noem stated she would not challenge Thune for the seat.
[4] On January 1, 2021, Trump tweeted that Noem should challenge Thune in a primary, despite Noem previously saying she will not do so, instead running for re-election as Governor
in 2022 .
