Internet shreds Indiana GOP Sen Todd Young as he refuses to endorse Trump's bid for presidential nomination

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA: Indiana's Republican Senator Todd Young recently informed the media that he has no plans to endorse former President Donald Trump despite his impressive performance on Super Tuesday.

After WWEV 44 News revealed that he would not be backing the GOP presidential frontrunner because of Trump’s position and prior remarks concerning Russia's conflict in Ukraine, Young told CNN on Friday, March 8, "Nothing's changed from my standpoint."

The Hoosier State GOP Senator further remarked, "I trust the people I represent to make their own decisions on who they’re going to vote for." 

Per the outlet, Young isn't sure who he will side with for the party's nomination. 

What are the reasons compelling Senator Young to not endorse Donald Trump?

According to a Fox News report, Young's stance on Trump is consistent with remarks he has made in the past, such as his statement from nine months ago that he doesn't "intend to support him."

When asked why he did not endorse Trump, the Indiana Senator responded, "Where do I begin?"

When Trump declined to call Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" in 2023, Young pointed out at the time, "I think President Trump's judgment is wrong in this case. Putin and his government have been engaged in war crimes....That’s why I don’t intend to support him for the Republican nomination.

Senator Young assumed office in 2017 and was reelected to the Senate in 2022, triumphing over his Democratic opponent, Thomas McDermott Jr, by a margin of approximately 20 points.

As per POLITICO, he was among the four Republican senators who did not receive an endorsement from Trump during the 2022 reelection bid.

Along with Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, Young is the third Republican senator who currently holds office and withholds support for the ex-POTUS. 

Internet rips into Sen Todd Young for declining to endorse Donald Trump

People on Facebook slammed the two-term Indiana GOP senator for refusing to fall in line and demonstrate support for the 77-year-old MAGA strongman.

One remarked, "So I guess he wants to help Biden destroy this country," and another declared, "Then if you say you are a republican and don’t support the candidate for president then you might as well be a democrat."

A person commented, "If he doesn’t get in line and support whomever the nominee is, then he or any other representative should be replaced. The Dems do this so much better because pelosi and Schumer never let people stay out of line."

Someone else asserted, "Get this guy out of there!" "It's not his choice it's our choice as Americans to decide who is the president. Until we realize that our country is going to keep getting worse," opined one more.
